Classical theists hold that God is omnipotent. But now suppose a critical atheologian were to ask: Can God create a stone so heavy that even he cannot lift it? This is the dilemma of the stone paradox. God either can or cannot create such a stone. Suppose that God can create it. Then there's something he cannot do - namely, lift the stone. Suppose that God cannot create the stone. Then, again, there's something he cannot do - namely, create it. Either way, God cannot be omnipotent. Among the variety of known theological paradoxes, the paradox of the stone is especially troubling because of its logical purity. It purports to show that one cannot believe in both God and the laws of logic. In the face of the stone paradox, how should the contemporary analytic theist respond? Ought they to revise their belief in theology or their belief in logic? Ought they to lose their religion or lose their mind?

A religion within the limits of bare reason is, according to Kant, something different from a religion out of mere reason. This raises the question of the status of what is not "derived from bare reason," and the coherence of Kant's moral teaching also becomes questionable. The present volume explores all of this by examining Kant's treatment of the "Church Faith" traces and illuminates the theorems developed in religious writing.

Souvent présenté comme un temps de foi, de tradition et d'autorité, le Moyen Âge voit la raison logicienne s'imposer dans tous les savoirs, même sacrés, comme forme du discours savant. Pour comprendre ce paradoxe, une triple enquête a été menée : Quel est le sens du mot ratio, un des plus équivoques qui soient ? Ses diverses acceptions, du calcul à la cause en passant par la notion, l'argument et la modération, sont-ils des éclats de sens disparates, ou réfractent-ils une signification commune ? La fonction de la raison varie-t-elle d'une discipline à l'autre, d'une époque à l'autre ? En particulier, la redécouverte d'Aristote a-t-elle révolutionné la rationalité médiévale, ou l'a-t-elle perfectionnée seulement ? Quelle est la valeur de la raison dans l'édifice médiévale de la connaissance ?Certains savoirs échappent-ils à son emprise, trop sublimes, comme la théologie, ou trop humbles, comme les arts empiriques ?

Si Descartes est le premier à penser la vérité comme certitude (Heidegger), Pascal est le premier à en prendre acte pour penser la certitude de la foi (le Mémorial) et de la vraie religion. Cet ouvrage est un recueil d'articles, inédits pour certains, organisé de façon chronologique et thématique : avant, pendant et après la célèbre conférence prononcée à Port-Royal, "De la vraie religion" .
