Abstract

The existentially important problem of contingency has in recent times been the topic of discussion not only in the philosophy of religion, but also in psychology, in sociology and especially in empirical theology. In the theory of the experience of contingency developed here, “contingency” is first clarified by differentiating the meanings of “necessity”, which makes it possible to distinguish several fundamental personal patterns of behaviour in dealing with contingencies. Since both the purely scientific considerations as well as those relating to reason have reached their limits, the focus is on the meaning of contingency in religion. The central point at issue is what lies beyond the limits of reason. Naturalists and immanent agnostics judge responses to contingency differently from religious agnostics and adherents of institutionalised religions.—Finally, by applying the notion of a latent philosophy as a basis for these religious-philosophical reflections, it becomes a bridge to empirical theology, which attempts to mold the individual ways of dealing with contingency into being practically applicable.

宗教哲学偶然性与经验神学
偶然性这一存在的重要问题近年来不仅在宗教哲学中,而且在心理学、社会学,尤其是实证神学中都是讨论的话题。在这里发展起来的偶然性经验理论中,“偶然性”首先是通过区分“必然性”的含义来阐明的,这使得在处理偶然性时区分几种基本的个人行为模式成为可能。由于纯粹的科学考虑和与理性有关的考虑都已达到极限,因此重点放在宗教中偶然性的含义上。争论的中心点是什么超出了理性的限度。自然主义者和内在不可知论者对偶然性的反应的判断不同于宗教不可知论和制度化宗教的信徒--最后,通过应用潜在哲学的概念作为这些宗教哲学反思的基础,它成为通往经验主义神学的桥梁,经验主义神学试图将处理偶然性的个人方式塑造成实际适用的方式。
