Abstract

305

Joseph Ratzinger affirms that during the historical contact between Christianity and the ancient world, there was no conflict, because they both agreed on the rational way to overcome myth. Luther later disregarded the part played by philosophy in religion and contributed to the establishment of fideism. The retaliation of reason on this point manifests itself in the opposite extreme: positivism, which is one of the keys to understanding today’s world. Ratzinger’s proposal to overcome this double mutilation is to recuperate the mutual fidelity between faith and reason, because reason without faith will not cure and faith without reason is not human.
