Judging from their principles and rituals, they appear to belong to the Middle Ages. This seems to be confirmed by a brief consideration of the history of Western science, certainly marked by first philosophy, and by its division into its three periods: ancient, medieval and modern. The One, recognized by Plotinus as the necessary condition of all multiplicity, and which religions identify with God, may be considered the principle of medieval thought. Alongside Descartes, modernity replaced this principle, and by the end of this period Nietzsche claimed that “God is dead! God remains dead! We have killed him!” But, is God dead? If the Modern Age, which started with Nietzsche, has killed God, does it mean that monotheistic religions have also been deprived of life and vitality? Or do they continue to live thanks to a free and self-determined assent to a living God that can be thought in relation to the world and to men and women?En la época moderna, las grandes religiones monoteístas –judaísmo, cristianismo e islam– pueden dar la impresión de ser anacrónicas, pues por sus principios y sus rituales parecen pertenecer al medioevo. Una breve consideración de la historia de la ciencia occidental, ciertamente marcada por la filosofía  primera y efectuada la división en sus tres épocas –antigua, medieval y moderna–, parece confirmarlo. Como principio del pensamiento medieval puede considerarse al Uno,  reconocido por Plotino como condición necesaria de toda multiplicidad y que en las religiones es identificado con Dios. Con Descartes, la época moderna sustituye este principio, y al final de esta época Nietzsche afirma que “¡Dios ha muerto! ¡Dios permanece muerto! ¡Nosotros lo hemos matado!” Pero, ¿ha muerto Dios? Si la época moderna, si la Modernidad iniciada con Nietzsche ha matado a Dios, ¿quiere decir esto que también se le ha quitado la vida, la vitalidad, a las religiones monoteístas? ¿O siguen viviendo gracias precisamente a un asentimiento libre  y autodeterminado  a un Dios  vivo que puede  pensarse en  relación con el mundo y los hombres?Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú - Departamento de Humanidades2014-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/arete/article/view/1110610.18800/arete.201402.002Areté; Vol. 26 Núm. 2 (2014); 207-2282223-37411016-913Xreponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/arete/article/view/11106/11621Derechos de autor 2016 Aretéhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/111062025-08-19T15:42:53Z
