Abstract
The philosophy of religions has experienced a radical turn in the last 25 years: the universalist rationalist claim of the classical rationalist paradigm inherited from “natural theology” was strongly criticized and new paradigms were proposed to account for the religious phenomenon, particularly the following: the “philosophical empiricist”, the “post-modern fideist” and the “reformed epistemology”. We postulate that the rational status of religious phenomenon is the central issue of the paradigmatic conflict. We examine the consequences of paradigmatic presuppositions concerning the rational status of religious beliefs on the sociology of religions. We also examine the contributions of these new paradigms to the problematic of rationality.
