Example text

The question concerning the possibility of the phenomenon implies the question of the phenomenon of possibility. Or better, the rational scope of a philosophy that is measured by the extent of what it renders possible is also assessed by the range of what it renders visible, thus, according to the possibility of phenomenality within it. Depending, hence, on whether it is accepted or rejected, the religious phenomenon becomes a privileged index of the possibility of phenomenality. I will begin by relying on Kant.

24 To be sure, intuition remains empty, but blindness is here worth more than vacuity: for even blinded intuition remains giving, whereas the concept, even if it alone can make visible what is first given to it, remains as such perfectly empty, and therefore incapable of seeing anything at all. Intuition without concept, although still blind, nevertheless already gives matter to an object, whereas the concept without intuition, although not blind, nevertheless no longer sees anything, since nothing has yet been given to it to be seen.

In fact, it rests upon perfectly reasonable grounds: any possible ‘‘philosophy of religion’’ would have to describe, produce, and constitute phenomena. It would then find itself confronted with a disastrous alternative: it would be a question either of addressing phenomena that are objectively definable but lose their religious specificity or of addressing phenomena that are specifically religious but cannot be described objectively. A phenomenon that is religious in the strict sense—that is, belongs to the domain of a ‘‘philosophy of religion’’ distinct from the sociology, history, and psychology of religion—would have to render visible what nevertheless could not be objectivized.
