Abstract

The article discusses the anthropological measurement of religious philosophizing. It focuses on the disclosure of the paradox: religious thought is suspected of hostility to the free openness of man and the world, however, the most affirming and pierced by the light of love for man and the world philosophical concepts were created by religious thinkers. The limit of openness and freedom of man appears to be a situation of foolishness: the usual human state is focused on support and security for an act, then entering the space of communication with God, a person falls into the open space of the abyss and loses social protection. The theology of the experience of God's communication acquires the form of religious philosophizing, when it involves personal experience and this makes it an outcast for instructive church thought and for individualistic secular freemen.

       Key words: foolishness, freedom, I-situation and the We-situation, evil, thinking.
