| Summary: | The author deals with permanent philosophical-theological question
about relation of religion and mind, approaching to this problem especially
through the experience of the early Christianity, which, with its
relation to philosophy, considerably determined attitudes of Christian
writers and entire theology till today. The view about incompatibility of
religion and mind (Christianity and philosophy) was supported by the
minority of the early Christian thinkers, while the majority thought that
harmony and unity exist between rational cognition (philosophy) and religious
cognition (theology). Prominent advocates of such view are Justin,
Clement of Alexandria and Augustin. That harmonious relation, which
has lasted for centuries, is now disarranged with separation and indifference
that caused mutual impoverishment. The encyclical letter of the
Pope John Paul II Fides et ratio warns about that. It wants to reestablish
that forcibly disrupted harmony between these inseparable realities in
accordance with the Church fathers. |
