Knowledge Between Scientific Method and Ritualistic Paradigms
Abstract
Knowledge is one of most important terms of philosophy and theology, not for its theoretical value but for its ontological value. Often, knowledge is linked by sciences, and this creates a paradigm for modern thinking. Man calls scientific only that things that touch an empirical condition, and he calls knowledge only what science can confirm. But truth is a universal value that exceeds scientific mode of knowledge, and it is not reducible. Because a thing in itself cannot be known, another mode knowledge is that of revelation, where things have no particular values conferred by human mind and subjectivity, such as universal and absolute value conferred by God in rapport with His creation. So, authentic knowledge is that inspired, where things have absolute value, and that is manifested through His Revelation. Man can receive and grasp this absolutely perspective through ritualistic acts, which develop a personal communion between him and God. That knowledge doesn't have scientific rigors, but it is most deeply creating a new ontological paradigm.
