In the concept of “gift,” some contemporary thinkers perceive the possibility for a renewal of philosophical and theological reflection. The Parisian philosopher Claude Bruaire (1932–1986) innovately proposes to understand “gift” ontologically rather than phenomenologically or sociologically. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore Bruaire's ontology of gift (<italic>ontodology</italic>), while testing its ability to elaborate an adequate interpretation of the essence of finite and infinite spirit.

520 $a In the concept of “gift,” some contemporary thinkers perceive the possibility for a renewal of philosophical and theological reflection. The Parisian philosopher Claude Bruaire (1932–1986) innovately proposes to understand “gift” ontologically rather than phenomenologically or sociologically. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore Bruaire's ontology of gift (<italic>ontodology</italic>), while testing its ability to elaborate an adequate interpretation of the essence of finite and infinite spirit.
520 $a Bruaire views gift and being as coextensive for two reasons. First, he interprets being in terms of spirit and of freedom. Gift then is the name of the ternary freedom-spirit-being. Second, being-of-spirit is gift because God is not only absolute spirit, he is also Triune.
520 $a The first part of the dissertation explains how, for Bruaire, the intimation of Christian revelation enhances philosophy and suggests the elaboration of an ontology of spirit. We then proceed to show in what way, prior to the development of his <italic>ontodology</italic> (1980–1986), Bruaire's systematic anthropology and his conception of absolute spirit were built around a notion of gift which was yet to be developed fully. In the course of this discussion the necessity for an ontological account of gift emerges clearly.
520 $a The second part unfolds Bruaire's <italic>ontodology</italic> in three steps. We first of all recount how the retrieval of the concept of spirit enables Bruaire to restore the notion of being to philosophical reflection. We then explain in what way the human spirit is given to the self in order to become self. Finally, we show that, for Bruaire, the infinite, creator, and eternal spirit is gift because God is donation (Father), reddition (Son), and confirmation of the gift (Holy Spirit). Entering in conversation with the philosophy of Hegel and Schelling, Bruaire draws from German Idealism key themes and terms, and corrects them in the light of the principle of unfathomable positivity stemming from his comprehension of Christianity. This approach enables him to develop a cogent interpretation of being as love.
