A concepção de crença religiosa de Clement Rosset

Abstract

The conception of religious belief in Clement Rosset’s thought is linked to his own theory of Tragic Philosophy which is characterized by the “logic of the worst” and the “randomness”. The Tragic Thinkers do not try stablish a general thought, their preoccupation is to affirm the worst. This form of philosophize intends to disqualify all the totalizing Philosophical thought. But it is not illogical, because the logic of the worst considers itself as possible. Clement Rosset considers failed any attempts of establishing a purpose in the nature and identifying universal principles that rule it, because the matter is conditioned by the randomness. The idea of “nature” constitutes an ideology similar to Religion, because it tries to overcome the religious belief affirming the idea of nature. The French Philosopher highlights that the belief in a supernatural action just exists because of the belief on the existence of a natural action. His conception of religious belief has as a main point the affirmation that the belief is gifted with “full insurance”. This “full insurance” pertains to any religious beliefs and it is founded in the fact that there is no belief’s object, because the last is nothingness. The adherence marks the religious belief, because the manner in this case is stronger than the objects that it connects.
