Popis: Starting from the Aristotelian conception of rhetoric as ›pithanology‹ the following essay formulates some theses on rhetoric, religion and science. The general thesis states that rhetorically generated credibility is an anthropological principle, which dominates human live and history. In this point of view science with her simple form of purely rational credibility is anthropological insufficient. In contrast, religion has all three dimensions of ›ethological‹, ›pragmatological‹ and ›pathelogical‹ credibility. This advantage gives the religion a great power of identification and community building in human history and explains the amazing return of religions at the beginning of the 21st century.
