Elementos pedagógicos y teológicos en la crisis identitaria de fe a partir del pensamiento del joven Joseph Ratzinger

Abstract

The identity crisis of faith is a phenomenon that the German theologian Joseph Ratzinger studies throughout his life, but in this paper only a particular period will be addressed, which starts from 1951-1977 and will be called "the young Ratzinger". In this period, he will address the search for these pedagogical and theological elements in the identity crisis of faith, relying on an ad intra et ad extra dialogue of theology. Ad intra we can point out the influence of the theological current called Nouvelle Théologie that reaches its peak with the Second Vatican Council. Ad extra of theology it is necessary to carry out a dialogue with the Philosophy of Education, supported by the study of Existentialism, Critical Theory, Pedagogy of Liberation and later with the authority of Foucault between the pedagogical and the philosophical. Subsequently, this philosophy of education is linked to a social experience with the element of liquid society studied by Bauman to end with the study of relativism.
