Peter Henrici (31 March 1928 – 6 June 2023) was a Swiss Jesuit prelate, Blondelian philosopher and professor (1960–1993) at the Gregorian University.
Born on 31 March 1928 at Zürich, Henrici happens to be a cousin of the Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar.
Again, in the 1990 graduate seminar on 'Methods of Interpreting a Philosophical Text,' with a chapter from Blondel's L'Action (1893), he gave hands-on training in the methods of Internal and External Structure, Lexicology, Metaphorology, Internal and External Sources, Redaktionsgeschichte, Wirkungsgeschichte, and Deutungsgeschichte (self- and other-interpretation).
His resignation as Auxiliary Bishop was accepted by Pope Benedict XVI on 5 February 2007, on the grounds of age.
[2] Henrici has numerous publications to his credit, among which Hegel und Blondel (1958), a reworking of his doctoral thesis; Aufbrüche christlichen Denkens (1978), as also many translations, among others of the works of Jean Danielou, Maurice Blondel, and Pierre Favre.
