Iluminismo, Religião, Secularização

Resumo

A partir de uma revisão de parte da literatura recente sobre o tema, este artigo busca problematizar a maneira pela qual Iluminismo e religião foram tradicionalmente articulados, sobretudo por uma historiografia excessivamente focada na experiência do século XVIII francês. Em contraposição, este artigo argumenta que “continuidade” é um termo que expressa de forma mais adequada essa relação do que o termo “ruptura”. No entanto, continuidade, como se defende, não exclui tensões nem tampouco transformações. Se, de um lado, o Iluminismo é muito mais próximo da religião do que se reconhece; de outro, ele modelou em larga medida o entendimento moderno da religião. A revisão da relação entre Iluminismo e religião implica também repensar a própria identidade do Iluminismo e a questão da secularização. O artigo toma o debate alemão em torno da questão “o que é Iluminismo?” como fio condutor do comentário, que se encerra com uma análise da famosa contribuição de Kant a esse debate.
