La foi chretienne et le destin de la raison
Jean Ladrière - Collection Cogitatio Fidei
Résumé
--
The Christian faith proposes an interpretation of the human condition where the meaning of life is revealed through its inscription within an eschatological perspective, i.e. its rapport to a reality that is at the same time forthcoming and already present. This reality is heralded in its founding texts, in the expression 'Kingdom of God'. The Christian faith sees itself as a commitment, in the practice it inspires for the great task of constructing the Kingdom of God. Thus human existence receives its 'destiny', in the sense of 'destination'. At the same time, starting from certain historical experiments like those of geometry or the city, a perspective was created that has defined itself as the concept of reason. This perspective is eschatological in its scope, in the purely philosophical sense that it opens onto an indefinite horizon, in which we can perceive the accomplishment of the historical task of the construction of reason. How should we 'think' the relation between these two perspectives? What does the history we have inherited teach us about them? Can we be content to recognise that we are in the presence of two totally different procedures, totally divorced one from the other? And if we do recognise that these perspectives must necessarily meet, how should we think and live that duality, without trying to reduce it to a unique set of terms? But firstly, how is the essence of each one determined? The texts assembled in this volume approach these questions: firstly by trying to define 'the universe of rationality' then exposing the problematic of the rapport between destiny according to faith and destiny according to reason, and finally by proposing an interpretation in which the destiny of reason is inscribed in Christian reality. The proposition is illustrated by more specific problematics concerning the relation between faith, science and philosophy.
