The Russian Christian Academy of the Human Sciences. Philosophical Delimiters in the Mediation between Christian Theology and Science

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the philosophical difficulties in conducting the dialogue between science and theology. It is argued that theology deals with the event-like phenomena which cannot be presented in phenomenality of objects (what happens in science). In order to incorporate the givens of theology (the “data” of religious experience) into a philosophical framework one needs to extend philosophy beyond its metaphysical and transcendental setting. The so called dialogue between science and theology demonstrates that the difference between theology and science pertains to the basics of the human condition and that the intended overcoming of this difference under the disguise of the “dialogue” represents an existentially untenable enterprise.
