Resumo: | From the well-known clash between religion and science in post-Enlightenment culture, the typical polarization of conflicts allowed diametrically opposed proposals to grow, both of them perfectly aware of the problem that gave them birth. Invigorated by the cultural quarrel with religion, many intellectuals invested in theories more in harmony with scientific mentality, such as natural theology, materialism, agnosticism and learned spiritualisms. Nihilism and Spiritism are classical examples of the dramatic developments of this crisis of European consciousness, with considerable influence on the educated classes in Latin America. This paper, therefore, presents the philosophical essence of such proposals. In harmony with the philosophical atmosphere of the nineteenth century, both proposals emphasized the logical consequences of their premises and metaphysical grounding for the drama of human existence. Also, according to the historical context of the cultural clash between religion and science, however, both proposals mistakenly assumed the idea of the obsolesce of metaphysics, only admitting their metaphysical foundation from a backdoor, under labels such as “positive philosophy”, “scientific worldview” and “fact based philosophy”. The present paper, therefore, will expose the philosophical essence of these proposals. |

Impulsada por la ruptura cultural con la religión oficial, la intelectualidad buscó alternativas que pudieran conciliarse con la nueva mentalidad científica, como la teología natural, el materialismo, el agnosticismo y el espiritualismo ilustrado. El nihilismo y el espiritismo son dos ejemplos clásicos del dramático desenvolvimiento de la crisis de la conciencia europea, y que tuvieran una fuerte repercusión en las clases ilustradas latinoamericanas. En sintonía con el contexto filosófico de su nacimiento, ambas propuestas enfatizan las conclusiones lógicas de sus bases metafísicas para el gran tema que ganará fuerza a partir de mediados del siglo XIX, el drama de la existencia humana. También en sintonía con el contexto del conflicto entre ciencia y religión, sin embargo, no logran comprender el fundamento metafísico que, en ese momento, se había convertido en tabú, y solo podía asumirse indirectamente bajo apodos como "filosofía positiva", "ciencia científica" y mentalidad "y" filosofía basada en hechos ". Por tanto, este trabajo expone la esencia filosófica de estas dos propuestas.Em meio ao bem conhecido choque entre ciência e religião na cultura pós-iluminista, a polarização típica dos conflitos permitiu que emergissem alternativas diametralmente díspares nos extremos do espectro, embora ambas perfeitamente conscientes da natureza do problema. Embalada pela ruptura cultural com a religião oficial, a intelectualidade buscou alternativas conciliáveis com a nova mentalidade científica, tais quais a teologia natural, o materialismo, o agnosticismo e espiritualismos esclarecidos. Niilismo e Espiritismo são dois exemplos clássicos de desdobramento dramático da crise da consciência europeia, e que repercutiram fortemente sobre as classes ilustradas latino-americanas. Em sintonia com o contexto filosófico de seu nascimento, as duas propostas enfatizam as conclusões lógicas cabíveis de suas bases metafísicas para a grande questão que ganhará força a partir de meados do século XIX, o drama da existência humana. Também em sintonia com o contexto do conflito entre ciência e religião, contudo, falham em compreender a fundamentação metafísica que, naquele momento, tornara-se tabu, e só poderia ser assumida indiretamente sob alcunhas como “filosofia positiva”, “mentalidade científica” e “filosofia baseada em fatos”. Este trabalho expõe, portanto, a essência filosófica dessas duas propostas.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais2022-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/interacoes/article/view/2709210.5752/P.1983-2478.2022v17n2p234-252INTERAÇÕES; Vol 17 No 2 (2022): Espiritismo; 234-252INTERAÇÕES; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2022): Espiritismo; 234-252INTERAÇÕES; v. 17 n. 2 (2022): Espiritismo; 234-2521983-2478reponame:Interações (Uberlândia.

From the well-known clash between religion and science in post-Enlightenment culture, the typical polarization of conflicts allowed diametrically opposed proposals to grow, both of them perfectly aware of the problem that gave them birth. Invigorated by the cultural quarrel with religion, many intellectuals invested in theories more in harmony with scientific mentality, such as natural theology, materialism, agnosticism and learned spiritualisms. Nihilism and Spiritism are classical examples of the dramatic developments of this crisis of European consciousness, with considerable influence on the educated classes in Latin America. This paper, therefore, presents the philosophical essence of such proposals. In harmony with the philosophical atmosphere of the nineteenth century, both proposals emphasized the logical consequences of their premises and metaphysical grounding for the drama of human existence. Also, according to the historical context of the cultural clash between religion and science, however, both proposals mistakenly assumed the idea of the obsolesce of metaphysics, only admitting their metaphysical foundation from a backdoor, under labels such as “positive philosophy”, “scientific worldview” and “fact based philosophy”. The present paper, therefore, will expose the philosophical essence of these proposals. |
