Abstract
This study deals with the ontological
background reference of religious experience in general, and it aimed to
demonstrate how our existential condition of finitude is imposed to understand
the most varied forms of manifestations of religious phenomena that arise in
the contemporary world. Thus, we will start from the distinction between a
hermeneutic-phenomenological conception of the religious experience in its
essence and the empirical approaches on its diverse concrete configurations. In
the end, we will try to point out that the possibilities of apprehension of
religious phenomena in general lack an existential element that is essentially
constitutive for us, namely, the condition of the precariousness of the finite
being faced with the opening of meaning that exceeds it in its horizon of
transcendence. As general contribution, this way of understanding must
foreclose every claim to make absolute a background meaning that should remain
open as the most radical condition of possibility for the religious phenomena.
For this, we will show, at first, how our existential condition as ephemeral
beings requires an interpretative bias for the religious dimension
circumscribed by the opening of the world in which we are launched and from
which we build our feasible projects. Then, we will see how this delimitation
of sense implies a fragmentation of the absolute conceptualization.
