Summary/Abstract: According to modern science and technology, all components of the world are an object of calculation and mastering in the name of human utility. Reality in itself, explored and used in this manner, raises no principal moral or normative limits to human interference,it is not a field of appearance of the sacred or divine, not a revelation of a more profound,metaphysical, i.e. ‘ultimate’, truth. In this condition, a religious experience requires as acrifice of intellect, in remaining difficult to communicate and share, and only within the confines of personal interhuman relations. The possibility of reaching a restoration of religion’s force is not excluded but it would require the coming of new prophets and saviours.
