摘要

The experience of the holy can be seen as part of the effort of human beings to construct a meaningful world. This perspective reveals that science and religion have both presented themselves in human history as strong values, characterized by different “types” of knowledge (with different degrees of certainty to which they aspire) and different goals. That they have often been able to integrate smoothly and at other times appear distant from each other is part of the historicity of human affairs. Today it is necessary for religious discourse to be able to express itself in a culture strongly permeated by the scientific mentality. As the paper tries to show, this capacity essentially depends on being able to clarify how scientific knowledge can be reconciled with the concept of a radical hope in a life beyond death, understood as an essential integration of meaning in human life.
