The philosophy of B. Pascal and modern Christian theology. Towards an assessment of Christianity's adaptive capabilities in the postmodern socio-cultural context
Author claims that Western theology must turn to Pascal's religious-philosophical legacy in order to find identification normatives that can ensure the cultural-adaptive stability of Christian identity. Such an approach is justified by a number of specific features of Pascal's philosophy: (1) existential character of thought; (2) anthropological nature; (3) symbolism; (4) semiotically obvious authenticity of artefacts of religious experience. In the author's opinion, the most promising in this context would be to address (2), Pascal's symbolic metaphysics, which is determined by the predominant influence of the ethical on its ontological and epistemological aspects. However, in the author's opinion, in the polycentric and pluralistic cultural and sociogenic environment of postmodernity, the identificational adaptation of Christianity is not only a "final transition" to religious symbolism. It is also important that Christians effectively strive to preserve and constantly cultivate the ability to value-based worldview.
期刊介绍:
Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
