Des racines chrétiennes a la culture radicale

Dans la relation Foi-Raison, deux theses sont avancees. La these de la convergence ou de l’unite, et la these de la separation ou de la distinction entre la sphere de la recherche scientifique et la sphere du salut religieux. Dans la these de la convergence, le discours de la science et celui de la foi representent deux “savoirs authentiques” qui s’harmonisent ou doivent s’harmoniser, et dans ce cas, la connaissance est une. La science doit etre consciente du lien qui la lie au discours de la foi pour s’harmoniser avec elle. Dans la these de la separation, c’est la science qui possede le savoir authentique, car le discours de la foi n’est pas a proprement parler un savoir, mais une croyance. La science est libre et doit avancer pour son propre compte, meme si le discours de la foi lui est contraire. ---------- In the relation Faith-Reason, two theses are suggested: the thesis of convergence, or thesis of unity, and the thesis of the separation, or the distinction between the sphere of the scientific research and the sphere of the religious salvation. In the thesis of convergence, the speech of science and that of the faith represent two “authentic knowledge” that become harmonized or must be harmonized, and in this case, knowledge is one. Science must be conscious of the bond which binds it to the speech of the faith to harmonize itself with it. In the thesis of the separation, the science has the authentic knowledge, because the speech of the faith is not strictly speaking knowledge, but a belief. Science is free and must advance for its own account, even if the speech of the faith is contrary for him.
