On the Understanding of Religion as 'Value'

Nowadays, we tend to understand religion from the viewpoint of 'value'. Many value-words are being used to describe our religious lives. Especially, to be 'sacred'is often thought of as the essence in religion. But, from the historical point of view, this tendency emerged only in the previous century. This occurresd not only because value could secure the existence of transcendental reality against natural science, but because there was also the need at that the time for a broader category to comprehend the various 'religious'phenomena that had been 'discovered'all over the world. Though value has been playing an indispensable role in understanding religion, and many attempts to describe value philosophically have been made, value still remains ambiguous or ambivalent. But, in a sense, this ambivalence itself makes it possible for value to mediate between a series of dualistic divisions. The modern dualism, which is represented by Cartesian, resulted in the opposition of subjective/objective, transcendental/immanent, universal/individual, that is, ideal/real opposition, and it is value that the blank is filled in with. But, it is also possible to say that value concealed the matter rather than solved it. Value-words permit various interpretations from both sides in many ways, and we cannot deny the fact that multivocal use of value sometimes confuses the matter. Still now, we cannot help relying on value-words to express our religious lives, but we have to recognize that such dualistic tensions are being echoed within them, and that it is necessary to make them clear as analytic terms.
