Racjonalność jako przestrzeń dialogu wiary i nauki w refleksji Benedykta XVI

Abstract
The article provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of rationality as a key element in the relationship between faith and science, drawing on the thought of Benedict XVI. The author emphasi­zes that rationality is not solely the domain of science but serves as a space where dialogue between different ways of knowing – scientific and theological – becomes possible. Benedict XVI highlights that faith and reason are not contradictory but rather complement each other, forming a harmonious whole in the pur­suit of truth. The article also delves into the historical roots of this concept, referencing philo­sophical and theological traditions that stress the unity of truth and the complementarity of various paths to its di­scovery. Particular attention is given to contemporary challenges, such as increasing se­cularization and scientific reductionism, which often lead to a false dichotomy between faith and scien­ce. The author ar­gues that Benedict XVI’s perspective offers a significant contribution to building brid­ges between these fields, demonstrating that rationality encompasses both empirical and metaphysical dimensions, enabling a fuller understanding of reality.
