The philosopher Leo Strauss argued that, in the Western tradition, philosophy and revelation make contrasting claims on the fundamental question of how to live. He insisted that the âlife of free insightâ proposed by philosophy is incompatible with the âlife of obedient loveâ announced by the Bible. [1]
Today, we confront this question in an unprecedented way. The certainty that the progress of industrial technoscience would consign religion to the dust heap of history has been decisively shaken. The well-regarded sociologist of religion, Peter Berger, who was once a vocal proponent of âsecularization theoryââthe notion that the modern world is coeval with a decline of religionâannounced, in 1999, that âthe assumption we live in a secularized world is false. The world todayâŠis as furiously religious as it ever wasâŠâ[2]
Today, both the learned and the layperson share his view. But the relation, if any, between religion and faith is not as well understood. In his last public talk, Ivan Illich declared, âI donât want to be a religious man. I am the descendent of martyrsâŠpeople who somehow understood that Jesus freed us from what was then, as today, called religion.â[3] Yet, Illich understood himself âas a man of faith,â[4] which, he pointed out, âfounds certainty on the word of someone whom I trust and makes this knowledge, which is based on trust, more fundamental than anything I can know by reason.â[5] In ranking faith higher than reason, Illich also ranks philosophy lower than love.[6]
