| Summary: | The reform of the theological studies after the Council Vaticanum II was aimed at a greater integration of philosophy and theology. The reform has led however to the abandonment of philosophy as a preparatory curriculum for theology (2–3 years of pure philosophy first) and consequently to a setback to systematic philosophy among theologians. The consequence is a loss of argumentative skills as well as of rigor in the search for truth. Systematic philosophy is practised nowadays mainly at secular and State faculties. It requires hard work in order to get acquainted with its technical terminology and to ponder the arguments for and against the main theses in epistemology, ontology, philosophy of language, of mind and of action as well as in ethics. This has widened the gap between the two disciplines. Philosophy, however, still has an auxiliary function in theology and should therefore not be neglected. Good systematic theology relys on philosophy: "One cannot be a good theologian without being a good philosopher" (Karl Rahner). |
