Abstract(s)
Através de uma abordagem metodológica centrada na reflexão dialética, o presente artigo
tem como principal objetivo questionar uma suposta essencialidade natural ou cultural da
natureza humana associada às experiências religiosas e ao sagrado. Este tema constitui uma
aporia, pois a religiosidade do ser humano pode ser concebida como fenómeno cultural e
natural, humano e sobre-humano, social e individual. Além da indagação sobre a natura-
lidade ou culturalidade da religião no ser humano, algumas perguntas colocadas no artigo,
designadamente na problematização, visam acirrar o pensamento crítico sobre esta temática
em torno da essencialidade da natureza humana, tais como: a religiosidade é um fenómeno
humano, natural e atemporal ou é social, cultural e temporal? É um fenómeno racional
ou consciente enquanto alimento da esperança? Tendo em conta que a religiosidade está
associada a determinados valores, será racional porque os fins das práticas respondem às
convicções e aos ditos valores e porque o sentido da experiência religiosa está inscrito nas
formas de linguagem e de conduta, bem como nos valores que as motivam?
Through a methodological approach centered on reflection and dialectics, the main purpose of this article is to inquiry a hypothetical natural or cultural essence of human nature, which is associated with religious experiences and the sacred. This theme is an aporia, because the religiosity of the human being can be conceived as a cultural and natural, human and superhuman, social and individual phenomenon. Besides the questioning about natural or cultural religion in human beings, some questions placed in the article, namely in the questioning part, aim to sharpen critical thinking on this subject around the essence of human nature, such as: Is the religiosity a human, natural and timeless phenomenon, or it is social, cultural and temporal? Is it a rational or conscious phenomenon to feed hope? Given that religiosity is associated with certain values, would it be rational because the purpose of the beliefs and practices satisfy all such values and because the meaning of religious experience is inscribed in the forms of language and conduct, as well as the values that motivate them?
