Parlar de l'experiència religiosa. Experiència fonamental i esdeveniment.

Talk about religious experience. Fundamental experience and event.

Abstract

The first problem in talking about religious experience is the lack of clarity about what is meant by religious or religion. However, this is the only starting point for putting the question about the “religious” nature of Christianity and Christian experience and their relationship to postmodernity and metaphysics, as does Gianni Vattimo. Christian experience then appears as a particular form of fundamental experience in which one puts to the test one’s self and one’s facticity in the event of a giving of oneself and of the world, and maybe of a giving of being and of God. The question of the naming of experience is a simple interpretation, but its character of interpretation remains unsurpassable if one wants to be faithful to the event as such and to the fracture of the presence it manifests.
