O SERMÃO DA MONTANHA NA VISÃO DO FILÓSOFO CRISTÃO HUBERTO ROHDEN.

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze Huberto Rohden s thought, Brazilian Christian philosopher, in his work The Sermon on the Mount , in a, about this teaching by Jesus Christ as described in the Gospel of Mathew (5-7). The author considers the authentic Christianity to be as it was lived in the beginning centuries, as it was lived by the disciples of Christ. The importance of the speech by Jesus Christ, the so called The Sermon on the Mount , is studied under this view by Rohden, as well as the identification of his thought s specific fields, such as the philosophy, the religion, the metaphysics, the mysticism, the intuition and the spiritual reasoning, the great lines of his thought. It is also studied the scientific, philosophical and religious perspectives which have influenced his thought, as well as Rohden s comprehension of the Sermon in relation to other theologians. We emphasize that Rohden unveils in his work Sermon the spiritual Reasoning, category (with no intention of limiting his thought) which makes the spiritual Self experience possible, with the understanding above the analytical understanding and sensorial. The intuition, another characteristic which influences Rohden s thought, is an approach which cannot be set apart from his written productions, as the mystic-intuitive that sought its connection with the Supreme Being. As the mystic, the approach taken in this thesis is connected to his religiosity, as a dimension which shows the divine essence, calling for the consciousness as to how we can experience God. The metaphysical approach, which is the search for the Being, is God in Rohden, the Supreme Reality, and not just, or only, the thought. It must be emphasized, however, that the Being, by its own nature, is unreachable in its transcendentalism, and also unreachable in its essence.
