Versionsunterschiede von News / Open Call For Articles Religion Faith Philosophy Contrasting Ways Of Living

hinzugefügt:

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 “life of free insight”
proposed by philosophy is incompatible with the “life of obedient
love” 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 ‘secularization theory’—the notion that the modern
world is coeval with a decline of religion—announced, in 1999, that
“the assumption we live in a secularized world is false. The world
today…is as furiously religious as it ever was…”^^((#[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, “I don’t
want to be a religious man. I am the descendent of martyrs…people who
somehow understood that Jesus freed us from what was then, as today,
called religion.”^^((#[3]))^^ Yet, Illich understood himself “as a man
of faith,”^^((#[4]))^^ which, he pointed out, “founds 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.”^^((#[5]))^^ In ranking faith higher than reason, Illich also
ranks philosophy lower than love.^^((#[6]))^^
