The Crucified God at the basis of modern European science and sources of the internalist antipositivism. Article three: Hegel

The Religion-Science relationship is often understood as problematic, and they themselves as sides in the confrontation between clericalism and scientism. Against the background of these polemic party positions the study of the positive significance of theological toposes, tropes, mythologemes in science stands out, when it is conducted secularly, and even more so emphatically atheistically. One of the vivid examples of that is met in the reflections of two French philosophers of Russian origin, Alexandre Koyré and Alexandre Kojève. By studying the genesis of science, Koyré discovers that modern mathematical physics requires a homogeneous world, and it became so for the first time in Christian Europe in the 16^th–17^th centuries. Kojève continues Koyré’s reflections – according to him, the application of the celestial science of mathematics to terrestrial physics became possible through the habit of European thinkers to the scandalous thought about the Incarnation of God, about the possibility for the infinity and for the perfection to be born in the flesh and thus “heal” it. The positions of both have their origin in Hegel’s thoughts, but in some points do not agree with him. The research consists of three parts published in three separate articles: on the foundation of Modern science according to Koyré, Kojève and Hegel. The here presented third part is about Hegel.
