Abstract

The article deals with the understanding of faith as the self-dependent ability that cannot be reduced to just highest ability of cognition. The uttermost existential passion determines this ability and allows to delimit the negative theology and philosophical apophasis as two opposite ways leading to faith or away from it. Conceptualization of this passion also permits to discover the religious nature of the transcendence and its defining role in the harmonization of subjectivity. From the point of this approach, deconstruction appears to be an attempt to create a content basis for atheistic religiousness, since the atheistic paradigm of the Enlightenment fell into decay. However, this philosophical experience of the «more enlightened Enlightenment» is not able to replace or cancel the transcendence, whereas the faith without transcending turns into the faculty of the reason and evinces the illusiveness of subjective harmony.
