David Hume gave more attention to no subject – except for the history of England – than religion. As is usual with Hume’s philosophical legacy, however, his theory of religion has been subject to a wide range of interpretations, many of which are straightforwardly contradictory – and it is just those which are the focus of the first part of my article. There have, after all, been attempts to present Hume as a theist, fideist, deist, agnostic and atheist. In the second part I will defend the claim that any attempt to categorise Hume according to a single, allegedly true, interpretation, is groundless because every such attempt comes up against insurmountable terminological disputes, interpretational difficulties and doubt concerning argumentation. We do not, however, have to concern ourselves as to what Hume actually thought about religion, or what kind of believer or non-believer he took himself to be. A much more fruitful approach is to understand how Hume’s conception anticipates and enriches contemporary atheology. In the third part I will therefore present textual proof from the primary sources to show how Hume offered a critique of revealed and natural religion, of moral and psychological aspects of religiosity. By way of conclusion, I will reflect on Hume’s conception of “true religion” and its application in secular society.

The natural religion was of great importance and popular with thinkers, philosophers and writers in the 18th century. According to the message of this idea a religion was treated in moral terms and it was believed that there are moral rules common among all people, and God is a Moral Lawgiver or a symbol of sanctity of these rules. In spite of the fact that the notion of natural religion does not exist today its forms can still be found in European awareness. But as the most important heritage of the 18th century idea of natural religion can be regarded nowadays our Western belief in human rights and their universality. In our value system these rights are supreme and „sacred”. It can be said that they are our new religion modeled on the natural religion and as its continuity.

What are we talking about when we talk about universal religion? The purpose of this article is to present a preliminary methodological, typological and historical outline (focusing particularly on modern France modern France), which facilitates answering this question. If we accept the meaning given to religion by modernity (which defines it by a form of worship, doctrine, morality and community), we conclude that the idea of a universal religion, as having numerous historical variants, fulfills its criteria in various ways. At the same time, however, it transcends positive religions, and its critical-investigative attitude towards them are even the necessary conditions of possibility of its emergence. The idea of universal religion can remain at the level of purely intentional solution or project (as in the case of modern natural religion, which is the common denominator of all religions, based on the so-called Credo minimum), it can also although this is rare, adopt a specific social character (as in the case of cults created during the French Revolution). The idea of a universal religion can also be associated with one of the historical religions. In the Western world and its Judeo-Christian context, it would generally be Catholicism.

Pytanie Eutyfrona. U źródeł teologii filozoficznej i religii naturalnej

The question asked by Socrates in Plato’s Eutyphro: ’Is the pious dear to the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is dear to the gods?’ can be understood as symbol of a growing tension between religion and philosophy (faith and reason). Additionally, this question is linked to a crucial issue of morality’s foundations because a question ‘what is pious?’ can be interpretated as a question ‘what is morally right?’ in particular religion. Socrates’ question about the meaning of piety not only is important itself but also because of its reason and consequences. It represents the beginning of the process that lead to conclusion that only reason can decide what is pious. This conclusion is an essential feature of the Western thought because it was underlying philosophical theology evolving since Antiquity and natural religion born in Modern Age. The platonic paradigma that only the Good can be divine is applied to both of them. The question I raised in my article has ancient origin. Nevertheless, it is universal and transhistorical question, important for Modern World.

The article is a reflection on the dictionary as an ideological battleground illustrated with the example of thematic dictionaries or encyclopedias of the Age of Enlightenment. The perspective of the study is philosophical and religious, centred on the ideas of natural and universal religion as elements of conflicting worldviews. We will discuss the controversy surrounding the Philosophical Dictionary by Voltaire, who was attacked by Catholic clergymen such as Chaudon, Paulian, François or Nonnotte.

Philosophy is, in some sense, the self-reflection of general culture, and perpetual self-reflection has been a primary occupation of philosophy in the West. Consequently, self-reflection is of great importance for dividing philosophical fields into separate divisions, and philosophy of religion is no exception. This paper deals with a thinker who constructed a “philosophy of religion” as a discipline, but was overlooked by historians. The main achievements of François Para du Phanjas (1724-1797), who tried to offer a theory of religion in the theological context, have not lost their significance for today, especially his insights into epistemology of religious beliefs, his conception of “certainty” and classification of “religious evidences”, and the shortcomings of his analysis of “natural religion”.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest krytyczna prezentacja głównych tez pewnej wersji współ­czesnego deizmu, zaproponowanej przez Roberta Corfe’a, autora książki Deism and Social Ethics: The Role of Religion in the Third Millennium. Nie jest to prosta kontynuacja osiem­nastowiecznego angielskiego deizmu Jana Tolanda i Mateusza Tindala. Deizm Corfe’a jest refleksją filozoficzną, biorącą pod uwagę osiągnięcia współczesnych nauk przyrodniczych. Autor podejmuje taką refleksję w przekonaniu, że główne zagrożenie światowego pokoju wypływa z konfliktów między przedstawicielami religii monoteistycznych: chrześcijaństwa i islamu. Jego zdaniem głównym zadaniem współczesnego deizmu jest budowanie porozumienia ponad reli­giami poprzez odwołanie się do racjonalnej perswazji, możliwej do przyjęcia przynajmniej przez niektórych przedstawicieli tych religii. Proponowana wersja deizmu miałaby być globalną etyką, odniesioną do nieosobowego kosmicznego Bóstwa (Dobra), zrywającą ze wszystkimi nadnatural­nymi religiami, które Corfe oskarża o kultywowanie irracjonalizmu, szkodliwego samego w sobie. Mimo że deizm Corfe’a nie przeradza się w ateizm, wbrew zapewnieniom autora Deism and Social Ethics nie stanowi skutecznej zapory przeciw temu ostatniemu. Autor niniejszego artykułu pokazuje, że koncepcja Corfe’a nie jest wewnętrznie spójna, jest niedopracowana teoretycznie i w znacznie mniejszym stopniu racjonalna, niż się Robertowi Corfe’owi wydaje. W istocie nie stanowi ona przekonującej alternatywy dla religii monoteistycznych takich jak chrześcijaństwo.

In his essay entitled Deism and Social Ethics: The Role of Religion in the Third Millennium, Robert Corfe presents a contemporary version of deism. His concept is not a simple continuation of eighteenth-century English deism, but is a considerably modified theory, taking into account mo­dern achievements of the natural sciences. The author believes that the main threat to world peace comes from conflicts between followers of the largest monotheistic religions like Islam and Christianity. A main task of contemporary deism would be the construction of agreement among the large religious communities in the world by means of continuous rational persuasion. Above all, the proposed deism would be a global ethics, related to an impersonal cosmic Deity (the Good). Simultaneously, it would break with all supernatural religions (theologies) based on different reve­lations. These latter are the source of irrationalism according to Corfe. It would be much better to replace them with a suprahuman rationalism discovered in Nature and deriving from Divine Reason immanently existing in the Universe. Corfe’s deism would be an alternative to atheism, popularized among educated men in Western countries. Also his deism is addressed to all people, who are making now political and economic decisions in a globalized world. As such, his deism can be a great worldwide ideology, especially useful for those who have an influence on the fate of the contemporary world. In this article are presented the main features of the above-mentioned version of deism, as well as a critical assessment of this type of deism, including a discussion of hidden and controversial presuppositions. It is found that this version of deism is not as persuasive and rational as its author thinks.

Goethe and the Christian Religion

Over the course of his life Goethe felt constantly challenged to determine the relation of his own religious and philosophical beliefs to those of the Christian revealed religion. The resulting reflections, expressed in many of his works, letters and conversations, fall into distinct periods or phases that this article will attempt to analyze. Towards the end of his life, however, Goethe came to the conclusion that the Christian religion, owing to numerous apparent anomalies and contradictions in its beliefs and doctrines, can never be rationally comprehended, though it can be known to reflect incommensurable eternal verities of the spiritual life of every individual and community of individuals. Upon this basis, Goethe will be shown to have developed a philosophy of an actually existing ideal Kingdom of God embracing all cultures and their associated revealed religions.

Religia naturalna i krytyka objawienia w filozofii Matthew Tindala

DE
Der Artikel widmet sich der Kritik der Offenbarung, der wir auf dem Boden des britischen Deismus  bei solchen Philosophen wie Herbert von Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland oder Anthony Collins begegnen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den Anschauungen von Matthew Tindal geschenkt, der vor allem als Autor von Christianity as Old as Creation in Erinnerung geblieben ist. Wie andere Deisten nimmt Tindal an, dass der aufgeklärte (d.h. aus allen Fesseln, besonders den des Aberglaubens befreite) menschliche Verstand der höchste Schiedsrichter in allen Fragen, auch jenen religionsbezogenen, sei. Er unterscheidet eine äußere Offenbarung (d.h. die für geoffenbart gehaltenen Bücher) und eine innere Offenbarung (d.h. die Erkenntnis der Ordnung der Dinge vom Menschen als rationalen Wesen). Ins Deutsche übersetzt von Anna Pastuszka

The article focuses on criticism on revelation which is present among British deists, such as Herbert of Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland and Anthony Collins. Particular attention is devoted to the views of Matthew Tindal, who is remembered primarily as the author of Christianity as Old as the Creation. Tindal, like the other deists, assumes that enlightened – i.e. freed from all the restraining bonds, especially from superstition – human mind is the final arbiter on all issues, including those related to religion. He distinguishes external revelation, i.e. the books considered to be revealed by God, as well as internal revelation – which means Nature revealing itself to human rational mind. Summarised by Tomasz Stefaniuk 
PL
Artykuł poświęcony jest krytyce objawienia, z jaką spotykamy się na gruncie brytyj-skiego deizmu, u filozofów takich jak Herbert z Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland czy Anthony Collins. Szczególna uwaga poświęcona jest poglą-dom Matthew Tindala, który zapamiętany został przede wszystkim jako autor Christia-nity as Old as Creation. Tindal, podobnie jak i pozostali deiści, przyjmuje, że oświecony – tj. wyzwolony z wszelkich krępujących go więzów, w tym zwłaszcza z przesądów – rozum ludzki jest najwyższym arbitrem we wszelkich kwestiach, również w tych zwią-zanych z religią. Wyróżnia on objawienie zewnętrzne, tj. księgi uznane za objawione, oraz objawienie wewnętrzne, czyli objawienie się porządku rzeczy człowiekowi, będą-cemu istotą racjonalną.
