Filosofia e religião Grécia: dinâmica de ruptura e diálogo

Abstract

One aspect of the problem we have been asked to examine can be formulated in the question: how does it come about, in the 'axial age', that men start to ask whether human social organization and political decisions should be dominated by religious imperatives, and start to compare the claims of differing religious and/or secular accounts of the cosmos. What I propose to do in this paper is to look a t the dynamics of this process by analysing the impact on Greek (and especially Athenian) religious thought and practice, and on poetry, of the pressures towards secularization and rationalization wich we can discern in Greek culture in the period between c. 550 and 300 B. C. UNITERMS: Ancient Greek Religion Ancient Greek ~h i l o s o~h~. Ancient Greek Anthropology . Introducao: da doxa a opiniaoO problema que pretendo examinar pode ser expresso atraves da seguinte pergunta: como, na idade axial, acontece que se comece a indagar se a organizacao social humana e as decisoes politicas devem ser dominadas ou nao pelos ditames religiosos -e se comece a comparar as alegacoes de diferentes religioes entre si ou com explicacoes seculares relativas ao cosmo? O que proponho, neste artigo, e examinar a dinamica de tal processo, atraves da CLASSICA, Belo Horizonte, 3 : 13-44, 1990
