Synopsis

The encyclical "Fidel et Ratio", dealing with faith and reason and their specific catholocity, may well turn out to be the most important document of the modern Catholic Church on the subject announced in its title and on philosophy understood as a mirror of peoples' cultures. "Fidel et Ratio" wants to put in motion again faith that thinks (a different thing from the believer that thinks) and the issue of truth, thus opening up a higher dialogue with late modernity and postmodernity. Among the various stimuli proposed by the encyclical to start up again this belief that thinks, a significant one is the methodology of collaboration and circularity between reason and faith, and philosophy and theology, to their mutual advantage. The intention of Vittorio Possenti is a questioning and reflecting on the nexus between philosophy and revelation without excluding a priori the insights of the above-mentioned encyclical. The focus of this brief treatment can be identified in a few key words: philosophy, revelation, truth, faith, reason, metaphysics, wisdom. The theme is philosophy in itself and in its relationship to a faith reaching for its self-understanding.
