The purpose of the paper is to examine from a particular point of view – that of philosophy of religion – the structure of the behaviour and the character of being a religious human being. Insofar this structure gives expression to a relation in progress, it is a rather dynamic and ambiguous structure. In what follows, I will explore the different forms this structure can take. My thesis is that religious human beings, as beings in relation between two different spheres – the human and the divine – live this relationship in the form of transgression. Or rather, religion itself is a place of constant transgression because the relation that characterizes religious human beings is a dynamic relationship: not a state of affairs, nor a fact or a destiny.

Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to examine from a particular point of view – that of philosophy of religion – the structure of the behaviour and the character of being a religious human being. Insofar this structure gives expression to a relation in progress, it is a rather dynamic and ambiguous structure. In what follows, I will explore the different forms this structure can take. My thesis is that religious human beings, as beings in relation between two different spheres – the human and the divine – live this relationship in the form of transgression. Or rather, religion itself is a place of constant transgression because the relation that characterizes religious human beings is a dynamic relationship: not a state of affairs, nor a fact or a destiny.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
