RELIGION IN THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF E. SCHILLEBEECKX: HUMAN AS HOMO RELIGIOSUS

Summary/Abstract: The epistomological line of the text is centered around the question of how, in Schillebeeckx’s view, people become religious. Humanity can be basically understood on its autonomous, generally human, pre-religious level. In contrast, however, that same humanity, when left in that immanent closedness, appears to be deprived of something, fundamentally endangered by itself. Schillebeeckx finds theology’s starting-point in the approach of dialectical acceptance of people and the world against the current relativism of being human. Christianity is perceived as that which desacralizes (human spheres obtain their own authentic content) and at the same time resacralizes (humanity can only discover itself fully precisely in religious experience). The experience structure proves to be, in principle, an open and dynamic system, of which certain points refer, with their borderline quality, to another space in which they could be, or rather should be, grasped.
