Józef Maria Bocheński’s "Was ich glaube" as a Continuation of "The Logic of Religion"

Abstracts

EN

The work entitled Was ich glaube was written by Józef Maria Bocheński in 1993. It has not been published yet for various reasons, and that is why it still remains a poorly researched work. It appears to be the last academic work he wrote. The analyses contained therein are focused on two main issues: the justification of faith and the types and meaning of sentences in which believers believe. Analyses of archival materials and other works by Bocheński, especially The Logic of Religion, allow us to conclude that Was ich glaube is a continuation of the latter work. This applies both to the area analyzed by Bocheński, which is religious discourse, and to the method of analysis he used. In this work we also deal with certain modifications of some approaches known from The Logic of Religion. They concern in particular the description of the conversion process and the role played in it by the so-called basic dogma, religious hypothesis, and authority. The willingness to modify some of the conclusions presented in The Logic of Religion is evidenced by the content of the paper that Bocheński delivered at a symposium in Salzburg in August 1991. It was entitled Religious Hypothesis Revisited. He also pointed out that the phenomenon of religion itself, as well as of religious experience and faith, require further research. Additionally, Bocheński drew attention to the need for research on the latter two issues in the first chapter of his work entitled Gottes Dasein und Wesen, edited in 1989. It is called The Program of Studies on God. This program distinguishes between three research areas related to knowing God: reasoning, experience, and faith. Analyses regarding the last two issues highlighted here are included in Was ich glaube. If we claim that this work is a continuation of The Logic of Religion, we understand the term „continuation” broadly, also allowing for modifications of previous results and significant additions to them. However, the method used in both works remains unchanged, consisting in the use of approaches known from formal logic, logical semiotics, and the methodology of science. This allows us to treat both of these works as representatives of the field that Bocheński called „the logic of religion”, in line with the title of his work.
