Pantheism
1. Pantheism in religion, literature, and philosophy
There are several different ways to think about pantheism. (1) Many of the world’s religious traditions and spiritual writings are marked by pantheistic ideas and feelings. This is particularly so for example, in Hinduism of the Advaita Vedanta school, in some varieties of Kabbalistic Judaism, in Celtic spirituality, and in Sufi mysticism. (2) Another vital source of pantheistic ideas is to be found in literature, for example, in such writers as Goethe, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Emerson, Walt Whitman, D.H. Lawrence, and Robinson Jeffers. Although it should be added that, far from being limited to high culture, pantheistic themes are familiar, too, in popular media, for example in such films as Star Wars, Avatar, and The Lion King. (3) Thirdly, as it is in this article, pantheism may be considered philosophically; that is, a critical examination may be made of its central ideas with respect to their meaning, their coherence, and the case to be made for or against their acceptance.

The progress of civilization led to the rationalization, to an ever higher degree, of the Universe. Even if, until today, many areas of reality escape rationalization, the significant successes in the effort to understand reality led to the formulation of a bold hypothesis, namely that the whole reality would, in principle, be rationally regulated.
Despite his epistemic caution, which kept him away from metaphysical speculation and from very assertive statements (he even proposed to replace certainty with probability as the criterion of epistemic validation), David Hume (1711-1776) dared to claim that causal regularity is one of the fundamental principles of human thought.
The rationality of the world imposed itself to such an extent that even some theologians, such as the founder of the Protestant liberal branch, Friedrich Schleiermache

Introducción
A PESAR del enorme peso de la religión católica en la cultura española, o mejor, las culturas españolas, está aún poco estudiada su incidencia real en la obra de sus escritores; por otra parte, las monografías dedicadas a los escritores católicos suelen dedicar muy poco espacio a las literaturas españolas. Nuestro trabajo pretende aportar a este estudio una investigación sobre el pensamiento religioso en la obra del poeta catalán Joan Maragall, y en concreto sobre un poema suyo, el Cant espiritual (CE). CE ha generado mucha filología y muchos debates, y si propongo que nos centremos en él es porque me parece muy significativo para entender la religión de Maragall y también porque podemos ver la evolución de la sensibilidad religiosa en Cataluña a través de las sucesivas lecturas que ha tenido el poema después de su publicación en el libro Seqüencies (191 1
