Abstract

MORENO ROMO, Juan Carlos. Against the very Absurd Obscurantism of our Reckless and Para, Post, Hiper or Trans... modern Times. Rev. filos.open insight [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.7, pp.125-155. ISSN 2395-8936.

This work explores the conflict between the light of faith and the obscurantism of reason. This exploration is made, at first, from a general perspective -between the Catholic Church and the modern West and its "philosophical empires"- and, as well, from the particular and personal level of the author: at first, in his experience as a student and then in his experience as a teacher. In both cases as a member of institutions that, if they define themselves as secular, in the practice they are secularist and, in that way, they do not offer an environment of respect for something so intimate and personal -and their desire is for this faith to be just personal and intimate- as Christian faith.

Keywords : Christianity; Education; Humanism; Secularism; Modernity.
