摘要

理性作为自然知识的唯一途径的胜利,是发生在所谓的科学革命期间的范式转变的最显著的结果,它从文艺复兴一直延伸到启蒙运动,在这个过程中,教条式的推理逐渐失去了它作为主要知识形式的作用。然而,在接下来的几个世纪里,大部分科学家都愿意把教条转变为理性思维的代理人。本文试图对《圣经》的描述在现代科学理论的构建中所保持的影响提供一个反思点,这些理论在某种程度上试图解释人类之间身体和道德差异的起源等相关问题。更广泛的目标是证明,作为一种文化表达形式,教条主义的宗教思想继续在现代理性科学话语的一部分的合法性中发挥着先验的作用,致力于捍卫西方国家的文明作用和物质和道德优势,远远超出了简单使用理性所允许的范围。

Monsters of an Awakened Reason. The influence of the Biblical account in the development of the scientific theories on the origin of man and its variations
The triumph of the reason as the only way of natural knowledge was the most remarkable result of the paradigm shift occurred during the so-called Scientific Revolution, which reaches from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, and in which dogmatic reasoning lost progressively its role as the principal form of knowledge. Nevertheless, during the following centuries, a large part of the men of science were willing to favour the conversion of dogma into an agent of rational thought. This paper, tries to offer a point of reflection on the influence that the biblical account maintained in the construction of the modern scientific theories that, somehow, tried to explain relevant issues such as the origin of physical and moral differences between humans. The broader objective is to demonstrate that, as a form of cultural expression, the dogmatic-religious thought continued to play a transcendental role in the legitimation of a part of the modern rational scientific discourse, committed to defending the civilizing role and the physical and moral superiority of Western states, far beyond what the simple use of reason permitted.

期刊介绍: Culture & History Digital Journal features original scientific articles and review articles, aimed to contribute to the methodological debate among historians and other scholars specialized in the fields of Human and Social Sciences, at an international level. Using an interdisciplinary and transversal approach, this Journal poses a renovation of the studies on the past, relating them and dialoguing with the present, breaking the traditional forms of thinking based on chronology, diachronic analysis, and the classical facts and forms of thinking based exclusively on textual and documental analysis. By doing so, this Journal aims to promote not only new subjects of History, but also new forms of addressing its knowledge.
