Despite the interdependencies that can be established between the theological and philosophical reflections, the traditional imaging of such a relationship should not ignore the fact that “there is also a theological critique of philosophy which constantly attempts to limit the philosophical reflection and orient it, highlighting its inadequacies relative to religious realities. However,the traditional image of the religious perspective upon philosophy consists in the attempt of religion to subordinate the philosophical reflection to the meditation which surrounds the horizon of revelation. Thus, philosophy
is assimilated as a preoccupation that employs a process which can reveal fragmentary truths through reason, it can highlight human adequacies versus natural realities, it can ease human access to a sense of existence which finds its basis and purpose beyond any finite form that the philosophical thought can comprehend”. What is interesting from the points of view of ethics, which I intended to put at stake, is the fact that religious morals and ethics, in their meaning as secular disciplines, have a history of confrontation as well as of mutual interaction. At present, their relationship is tense but they may have the potential for mutual enrichment. |
