Abstract

Christianity understands itself as a religion of logos, that is, a religion in accord with reason. Therefore, a weakening of reason, which is the logos, indicates a weakening, and even the degeneration of Christian life. In order to understand the truths of faith, philosophical arguments have been used. Deconstruction is a contemporary style of philosophical thought, which prevents understanding, for it serves not in the formulation of reasonable answers nor in demonstrating a lack of sense. Therefore, deconstruction demolishes the logocentric mode of thought that is “meaning,” “understanding” and “certainty.” Hence, it constitutes a threat to a life of faith that seeks understanding (fides quaerens intellectum).
