Abstract

RESUMEN El artículo muestra cómo J. Dewey entiende "lo religioso", no como experiencia separada, sino como intensidad de cada vivencia que realza y expande su cualidad estética. La vida cotidiana constituye el reino del hombre sobre la naturaleza que exige recobrar la relación originaria con esta y, desde allí, con Dios. Esto implica vivir de primera mano toda experiencia individual, toda vez que conlleva ser interpelado por las situaciones problemáticas. Se explica la forma de dicho movimiento de la experiencia. ABSTRACT The article discusses J. Dewey's understanding of "the religious", not as a separate experience, but as the intensity of each lived experience, which enhances and expands its aesthetic quality. Everyday life constitutes the dominion ofthe human over nature, which requires reestablishing the primordial relation to nature and, from there, to God. This implies living fully every individual experience and being interpellated by problematic situations. The article explains the form of that movement of experience.
