Erich Przywara SJ (Polish: [pʂɨˈvara]; 12 October 1889 – 28 September 1972) was a Jesuit Catholic priest, philosopher, and theologian of German-Polish origin, who was one of the first Catholics to engage in dialogue with modern philosophers, especially those of the phenomenological tradition. He is best known for synthesizing the thought of prominent thinkers around the notion of the analogy of being, the tension between divine immanence and divine transcendence, a "unity-in-tension".
