Religia a racjonalizm. Filozoficzno-społeczna myśl Josepha Ratzingera
Religion and Rationalism. The philosophical and social thought of Joseph Ratzinger

Summary/Abstract: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger noticed that in contemporary philosophical, social and political thought, as well as culture and science, there had been a final separation between religious and rational categories. This separation has caused mutual dangers, such as religious fanatism, the pathology of reason, extreme liberalism and moral subjectivism. Paradoxically, this separation of religious and scientific ideas has widened the space of dialogue between believers and atheists, between the men of church and the men of science. Ratzinger is certain that the relations between religion and rationalism are necessary to maintain the lasting and universal moral laws, preserving the unconditional respect for every human being. Their correlation presents christianity as the universal religion of the enlighted reason, disseminating the idea of liberty, free from political influences.
