Reason, the Only Oracle of Man

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter analyzes the development of Renaissance philosophy from its Byzantine sources to the openly secular attempts of some of its proponents to demonstrate that human reason, rather than divine revelation in the traditional sense, became the central source of revelation. However, during the Baroque age and the new era of scientific development, there was a countercurrent that led to the reestablishment of absolute transcendence and the authority of divine revelation in the works of leading pre-Enlightenment scholars. One such scholar was Croatian-born Rogerius Josephus Boscovich. The author argues that there is a parallelism between the ‘rebirth of the transcendence’ in scientific circles in the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. He asserts that we can return from the ‘oracles of reason’ to the ‘reason of oracles’ only if we learn from past attempts to reconcile reason and revelation.
