Philosophy: the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics. Religion: A religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Conclusion: Religion is part of Philosophy,Philosophy is of wider range,therefore they can not be essentially the same. This is not entirely correct, if you aren't sitting on the spanking seat. Philosophy may not have anything to do with religion, these supergroups, as I understand it, are based upon a close network of activities and practices that their disturbed output is visible a click away. Although, a division in the first, say Determinism or Existentialism or Positivism are much closer to the platform of religion in the cognitive geography. I believe we should change the name of religion, to something that would include connotations with anything that requires faith to be accomplished. Such as staying up all night to see the sunrise with not a single doubt in mind it WILL rise. Or turning the tv on at the exact time that news are believed to be broadcasted. And philosophy, on the other hand should be change to a name that will reveal itself as the beforehand of faith. Our ability to imagine, to insert something from nowhere into present presence. To blend truth with language. |
