SAN ROMAN GOMEZ, Álvaro. Religion or Life’s Encounter with Itself. arete [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.2, pp.448-464. Epub 11-Dez-2023. ISSN 1016-913X. http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/arete.202302.010.
This paper attempts to offer a comprehensive approach to the religious phenomenon, considering that religion-understood as the attitude that each life has towards the brute fact of life-constitutes an anthropological universal. I claim that there are three emotional places or types of vital pathos that allow sketching three basic modes of articulating the religious: the pathos of disenchantment, the tragic pathos, and the pathos of wonder. After discussing the dialogues, tensions, and transitions between these, the paper concludes with a vindication of wonder as the genuine experience of a strictly religious life-that is, a life reconciled with totality.
