Religión, Análisis crítico bajo los filósofos de la sospecha de Paul Ricoeur

Abstract

The question of religion as an existential dilemma has been a topic of deep reflection throughout the history of philosophy. The inquiry into whether religion is intrinsically good or evil, and whether humanity can exist without its influence, has occupied the minds of many thinkers. This exploration delves into the big question: Is it possible to live without religion? Through the prism of the philosophical system of Paul Ricoeur, known for his concept of the "philosophers of suspicion", a dialogue is opened with the ideas of prominent figures such as Marx, Nietzsche and Freud. Despite their divergent views, these thinkers converge on a common distrust of established institutions and narratives, including religion. This essential research not only questions the concept of religion, but also provides a critical analysis of its relevance and role in society. In doing so, it invites deeper reflection on how religious beliefs and their structures influence everyday life and understanding of the world. Furthermore, the possibility of an existence unrelated to religious dogmas is raised, suggesting a path towards a more personal and perhaps more authentic understanding of spirituality and existence.
