Преодоляване илюзиите на благочестието чрез рационална и феноменологическа религиозност
Overcoming the illusions of piety through rational and phenomenological religiosity

Summary/Abstract: In Religion within the Limits of Reason Itself, Kant describes and criticizes two illusions of piety: the illusion of superstition and the illusion of selfdeception. According to him, both illusions hinder the pious life prescribed by historical religions, which in them is essentially impossible in its true form. Authentic religiosity for him coincides with authentic morality exercised by free will in the light of practical reason. One can also speak of illusoriness in religious experience from the perspective of Husserl’s phenomenology. There, illusoriness would arise if religious dogmatics and ritualism were to appear as religious experience. The founder of phenomenology claims that authentic religious experience is possible, and, moreover, possessing all the attributes required by the concept of “experience”. Apart from the distinction between apparent and intrinsic religiosity, both authors converge in accepting within the latter the thesis of ‘god-likeness’.
