Secularised City: Between Religiosity and Spirituality

Abstract

The article presents one of the most inalienable dimensions of man that is his need for spirituality, which itself demands its proper form, including an architectural one. As modern anthropology states, man is not only a material being, nor only a psychological one, but also has a spiritual dimension. Due to the increasingly weaker role of Christian Churches in Western Europe, there arises the question regarding in what manner and in what sense can a man of the post-modern period satisfy his spirituality? Various religious offerings often do not fully live up to their task. Their propositions are quite often marked by an excessive emotionality and sensibility. Despite all this, we are faced with the question about Church religiosity and Church spirituality in this situation. It is also a matter that is probably more institutional, one that is tied with rationality. Faith, after all, always requires reason.
