Abstract

Le relativisme a représenté depuis l'Antiquité une philosophie parmi d'autres. Or, avec la " mort de Dieu ", il est devenu la philosophie dominante du monde occidental, ce qui invite à en mieux définir les contours. Il existe en effet différentes variantes du relativisme. Ainsi, pour le relativisme normatif, les normes et les valeurs sont des conventions culturelles et toutes les cultures se valent. Pour le relativisme cognitif, il n'y a pas de connaissance certaine, même en science. En retraçant l'histoire de ces relativismes, Raymond Boudon nous invite à distinguer le " bon " relativisme qui favorise le respect de l'Autre, du " mauvais ", qui engendre une perte des repères intellectuels, alimente le nihilisme et nuit à la démocratie.

Abstract

At the end of the millennium, the dominant philosophical mood is relativistic. Ideals, opinions, and values are rarely judged in absolute or universal terms. Instead, subjective views are juxtaposed and assessed in relation to one another and none is accepted finally in and for itself but characterized in relation to its whole environment. In this collection of essays, philosophers of widely divergent views and emphases try to assess the tension between relativism and absolutism in the general domains of philosophy and religion. In the closing section of the book, an extensive article tries to integrate the responses to the whole problem and advance beyond the simple anithesis of the relative and the absolute.

Abstract

This book offers an interpretation of the rise of secular historical thought in nineteenth-century Europe. Instead of characterizing 'historicism' and 'secularization' as fundamental breaks with Europe's religious heritage, they are presented as complex cultural permutations with much continuity; for inherited theological patterns of interpreting experience determined to a large degree the conditions, possibilities and limitations of the forms of historical imagination realizable by nineteenth-century secular intellectuals. This point is made by examining the thought of the German theologian W. M. L. de Wette and that of the Swiss-German historian Jacob Burckhardt. Burckhardt's meeting with de Wette and his subsequent decision to study history over theology are interpreted as revealing moments in nineteenth-century intellectual history. By examining their encounter, its larger historical context, and the thought of both men, the book demonstrates the centrality of theological concerns and forms of knowledge in the emergence of modern, secular historical consciousness.
