Abstract

The article concentrates on the project of phenomenological analysis of religious experience, as it was introduced by participants of the Göttingen philosophical circle (M. Scheler, A. Reinach, E. Stein). Their works are analyzed as a way of rational thematization of religious intuitions; according to this point of view two problems are discussed: 1) religious-historical background of the project and 2) question of its possible influence on theological discourse of the time. The first section of the article describes philosophical phenomenology of religion as a specific phenomenon of religious life of the early 20-th century; here a special attention is paid to categories “secular”, “modernism” and “crisis”. In the next sections two main effects of the phenomenological interpretation of religious experience are represented. The first one is realistic legalization of cognitive status of religious experience, the other is problematization of the category “meaning”, which can be called “hermeneutic effect” of phenomenology. Finally I make a conclusion, that the discussed philosophical project is, on the other hand, determined by its historical background, but on the other hand, has produced new insights for contemporary religious strivings. At the same time two suggestions are made, which try to explain the inner logic of development of phenomenological philosophy from the point of view of its religious context.
