Abstract

The modernity’s great challenge is to release the faith imprisoned by thoughts polarizing and depleting every meaning of the existence of beings on the planet. The aim of this paper is to overcome this challenge which is leading the man of faith to close himself in extreme positions or isolating himself from the world, and ignoring his own destruction. The symbiosis of the faith is an attempt to see these poles in an interaction, whose result allows the man to discern a new way of relationship between man and nature, another men and God Himself. There will always be new horizons when one does understand the universal with particular, the spiritual with contingent. The faith is able to make the man does understand such interaction for seeking justice.
