Die heeft betrekking op de spanning tussen een intern en een extern perspectief op religie. Ik zal proberen aan te tonen dat de meningsverschillen tussen enkele protagonisten in het debat en ook de moeilijkheden waarin die protagonisten terecht komen, in belangrijke mate verhelderd kunnen worden als we rekening houden met de implicaties van bet verschil tussen beide perspectieven. In een eerste gedeelte bespreek ik Marcel Gauchets opvatting over de betekenis van religie vandaag. In een tweede gedeelte confronteer ik Gauchet met een bepaalde ambigu1teit in zijn defmitie van religie. Die ambigu'iteit komt ook naar voren in zijn discussie met Luc Ferry, ofschoon noch Ferry noch Gauchet in staat zijn om er echt rekenschap van te geven. Beide auteurs zijn namelijk gebonden aan een exteme, functionele opvatting over religie, wat hen niet toelaat de specifieke inhoud ervan adequaat te onderscheiden van andere vormen van zingeving. Daarom wenden we ons in bet derde gedeelte tot Charles Taylors interne kijk op religie vandaag. Taylor probeert aan de hand van zijn interne beschrijving van religie aan te tonen dat religie niet noodzakelijk hoeft te verdwijnen in een moderne cultuur. Sterker nog, de normatief ingestelde Taylor probeert te beargumenteren dat de moderne cultuur zelfs nood heeft aan een juiste verhouding tot het transcendente. In het vierde, besluitende gedeelte stel ik me de vraag hoe dat normatieve perspectief verenigd kan worden met zijn intern realistische visie op religie.","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"72 1","pages":"39 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.72.1.2083115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67909516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article concerns the relation between Church and state from an ecclesiastical and canonical point of view. It makes clear, how the ecclesiastical doctrine reacts to social developments in relation to the national state in order to safeguard the independence of the Church. The 19th century ecclesiastical doctrine on the Church as a societas perfecta reacts on doctrines on the national states, which claimed absolute sovereignty and by that subordinated the Church to the civil government and civil law. With societas perfecta doctrine the Church defends its sovereignty in the domain of the spiritual good of men. In this way the Church defmes and protects its divine origin and independence from the national state. In the first half of the 20th century the democratic and constitutional national states were developed, which acknowledges religious freedom on a constitutional level as a human and a civil right. Because of this progress the Second Vatican Council could formulate its doctrine on religious freedom based on the traditional ecclesiastical teaching of the freedom of the religious act. By then, the independence of the Church is founded and defended on the freedom of the Church, which is guaranteed in national states, which acknowledge religious freedom as a human and civil right. Although one can say that there is discontinuity in the ecclesiastical teaching on the Church as a societas perfecta and the ecclesiastical doctrine on religious freedom, there exists also continuity, because both ecclesiastical doctrines intend to safeguard the independence of the Church in human society.","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"72 1","pages":"103 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.72.1.2083118","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67909669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question concerns not only the position of churches and religious communities in human society, but touches also upon the legal position of churches and religious communities according to private and public civil law. In the Western-European countries, the citizens enjoy religious freedom as a civil right. Based on the French model the relation between church and state in Belgium and the Netherlands is based on the principle of laicite, i.e. the separation of church and state and the neutrality of the national state in relation to religious matters. But in Western Europe also other systems exist, like in Denmark and in Great Britain, which have established churches. Usually the reflection on the relation between church and state takes place from a civil juridical point of view. 1 In this article, tough, this matter will be reflected upon from an ecclesiastical point of view based on the Code of Canon Law and the doctrine of the Roman-Catholic Church. When one reads the Code of Canon Law, one remarks that the roman-catholic church law uses the language of public law. In this way the canon law emphasises the Catholic Church as a public institution in human society. The canon law however has no particular regulation on the relation between church and state. In the second half of the last century there has been an attempt to develop a constitutional law for the Church: the project of the Lex Ecclesiae Fundamentalis. Although a last draft of this legislation was ready to be approved; this law was not promulgated. This constitutional law contained a section","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"72 1","pages":"17 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.72.1.2083113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67908987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, too few systematic inquiries have been undertaken so far to explore and elaborate this conspicuous issue. 1 The striking underexposure of this aspect of Derrida's oeuvre should however not come as too great a surprise. It should indeed be immediately stressed that Derrida certainly did not work from within what one too hastily could call the body of tradition of Judaism, nor did he ever make the latter a subject of systematic inquiry. After all, his most important works do not seem to contain any incontestable reference to an issue that is at stake in this tradition. Indeed, at first sight it does not even seem legitimate to dedicate an entire journal issue to this relationship at all. And yet, if one takes a closer look at his works, then one cannot deny that Derrida shows a particular preference for Jewish thinkers such as Levinas, Rosenzweig, Kafka and Celan and that he pays close attention to certain issues that have an inherent connection to the Jewish universe such as hospitality, the messianic, and exemplarity. How to make sense of this rather vague relationship between Derrida and Judaism? Of course, this question would not carry such a weight if it were not for the fact that Derrida was born in Algeria into a Sephardic Jewish family. And although he did not receive a traditional religious education, his childhood memories of growing up in a secular Jewish environment did leave a imprint on his later life and writings in the sense that there is clearly a link between","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"72 1","pages":"239 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.72.3.2141833","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67910428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
