Abstract
In recent years, numerous studies of prayer practices have been presented in the field of cultural and religious sciences. In his article on “L’homme en prière, cet ‘arbre de gestes’”, Michel de Certeau makes the gestures of prayer and the space inhabited by prayer the starting point for a fundamental approach to human existence. The following article builds on these reflections and, in the context of the ‘spacial turn’ in the cultural sciences, attempts to work out with Michel de Certeau the paths to an ‘intellectus fidei’ in these times of broken links with the ecclesial institution, when spirituality is gaining new importance, even in secular circles.
