Abstract EN:

THE MODERN SECULAR SOCIETIES ARE COMING TO THE END OF A PROCESS OF DESACRALIZATION WHICH AFFECTS FIRST NATURE (COSMOLOGY BEING REPLACED BY PHYSICS) THEN HISTORY (with THE ESTABLISHMENT OF POLITICAL DEMOCRACY). YET, AT THE CORE OF THIS PROCESS, THE SHOCK CAUSED BY THE CONFRONTATION OF THE SAVAGE AND THE GREEK LEADS THE PRE-ENCYCLOPEDISTS TO TREAT THE RELIGIOUS AS AN OBJECT THAT THE EXPLANATION BY THE POLITICAL IMPOSTURE DOES NOT ENTIRELY ACCOUNT FOR. THIS "INVENTION OF THE RELIGIOUS", IRREDUCTIBLE TO THE HERMENEUTICS OF RELIGION, IS A FUNCTION OF THE INSTALLATION OF A SCIENTIFIC RATIONALITY WHICH, ESTABLISHING ITSELF AS A SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROJECT, QUESTIONS ITSELF ABOUT ITS OWN ORIGIN, BETWEEN NATURE AND CULTURE. THE PARALLEL DEBATE OF AN ETHIC OF THE SUBJECT OF SCIENCE, WHICH GAINS FROM THE LACK OF COHESION WITHIN THE THEOLOGICAL MODEL, WITH THE GNOSIS OF THE SUBJECT OF ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE, WHICH TAKES ITS LESSON FROM RELIGION, FINDS WITH THE CONTEMPORARY HUMANITIES THE OPPORTUNITY OF RE-WRITING ITSELF IN TERMS OF INSTITUTION AND CONSTITUTION : THE RELIGIOUS IN CHRISTIAN TERMS THEN APPEARS AS THAT WHICH IN ITS SACRAMENTAL ROLE CONSTITUTES "BODY" AND WHICH UNFOLDS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE NOMINATION (FATHER-SON-HOLY SPIRIT) WHILE IT IS STILL AWAITING DEFINITION. IN THAT SENSE, THE LANGUAGE OF THE RELIGIOUS IN CHRISTIAN TERMS GIVES THE POLITICAL SCOPE OF A SUBVERSIVE READING OF THE INSTITUTIONS WHICH RULE HORIZONTALLY LIFE IN OUR SOCIETIES : LIKE THE IMPERSONAL CONSTITUTION INTO A BODY OF THE LANGUAGE OF ALL, AND WHICH CONSTRAINS SINGLY AND SINGULARLY.
