Du naturel religieux dans la philosophie hobbesienne à l’exclusif religieux en islam.

Abstract

This article demonstrates the heuristic relevance of a dialogue between the perspectives of Hobbesian philosophy and the sociology of Islam and Muslims. Two common points emerge from this dialogue. From the standpoint of Hobbesian philosophy, it was only very recently that Hobbes' conceptions of religion began to be considered in depth from a properly philosophical perspective. Until ONTIL then, this was mainly analyse through a political focal point. This fact is verified in the sociology of Islam and Muslims, where religion holds a singular place and has one central point in common : that of being thought FORTE more in socio-political terms. Faced with this first observation, two concepts analyzed in the article nevertheless make it possible to highlight other analytical frameworks, such as that of a religion who does not emphasise - without ignoring it - socio-political considerations. In order to explore these different points of view, the authors grasp the concept of natural religion in Hobbes and develop that of the religious exclusive, which has recently emerged in the contemporary construction of Islam in France. The philosophical interpretation of the "religious natural" and the sociological analysis of the processes of de-ethnicization, that is to say when religious markers tend to gain autonomy from cultural and social markers, are thus brought to light. This article explore the relationship to confession and the "deconfessionalization of religion", to interpretive frameworks, socio-political dimensions, subjectivation or even the necessary historicity.
