  Article:   THE RELIGIOUS TURN (ON THE NEW RELATION BETWEEN SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION).

Authors:  ANDREI MARGA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:   The world today witnesses historical changes in the relationship between religion, on one hand, and science and philosophy on the other hand. These changes determine us to find new solutions even for issues considered settled – such as the cultural foundation of Europe, and they support us in solving new problems, such as defending firm values faced with the wave of relativism, and affirming the identity of the human species faced with the attack of the naturalism connected to biotechnologies. It has become clear that philosophy and theology must work together in defending the firm values of the culture we live in Europe. As, from different directions, – one, for instance, stimulated by the biotechnologies, other by the dissolution of the traditional family –what human life is, who creates it, what is the difference between having a body and existing as a body, which are the circumstances of meaningfully living in society, become problematic.

Key words: historical changes, religion, philosophy, naturalism connected, biotechnologies, human life.
