Abstract

Like science, religion has been the object, in 20th-century theology and religious phenomenology, of an irrationalist interpretation, tending, as in the case of science, to reject all attempts at justification and objectification, in favor of unbridled relativism and "experimentalism". (In France, Lévinas, Ricœur and Marion were representatives of this fundamental movement) This movement also claimed to get rid of the rationalist critique of religion, dismissing it in the name of an overcoming of reason (and the "saturation" of phenomena). This problematic will be addressed by taking up the discussions of the two books Jacques Bouveresse devoted to it: Peut-on ne pas croire? and Que faire de la religion?
