Descrizione

Term of reference is the thesis of M.Pera in Why we have to profess christians. Christianism contributes decisively to the building of western identity, that means modernity and liberalism. This thesis is elaborated starting from weberian assumptions on Entzauberung and rationalisation as biblical Weltanschauung: a determinant root of western identity. Christian revolution upsets the worldview from the «naturality» of ancient cosmocentrism, particularly of Greeks and Romans, to the «unnaturality» of radical theoanthropocentrism, that is to subjectcentrism, conceived as embryo of modernity. This «unnaturality» of Christianism is present in two features:the axioogical priority of inner life and the «inverse glorifications» in thr Sermon of the mountain. These features are realized in many areas and situations typical of western civilisation, particularly in the Middle Age.
