Experience is a very basic concept and, at the same time, an extremely complex subject. How does our everyday experience as a human being relate with scientific knowledge and moral conduct? What kind of mutual relationship lies between human experience, reason and faith? This book gathers the results of a joint philosophical research which puts human experience in question from the diverse perspectives of a selected group of scholars. These collected essays lead the reader through a wide investigation articulated in two stages: the first goes from epistemology to theory of experience and the second moves from theory of experience to theology. Special attention is devoted to the many implications of human experience in the much debated and controversial relationship between reason and faith. The outcome is a plural account which looks with deep interest at a wide range of human experiences, especially those intertwined with the field of natural sciences, the challenges of ethical normativity or the traits of religious commitment.
Francesco Botturi taught Philosophy of History in the 1970’s at the Università Cattolica, Milan, where he is now Full Professor of Moral Philosophy. His scientific research started from French Structuralism, and the problem of Modernity was central in his later monographs on G.B. Vico. His latest essays and books are devoted to a wide range of anthropological and ethical issues.
