| | Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medieval philosophy was concerned primarily with argument from authority, and the analysis of ancient texts using Aristotelian logic. | | | Philosophy is thus not a unified whole but a set of unrelated problems. | | | In 1641, in Meditations on First Philosophy, he used this method of doubt in an attempt to ascertain what knowledge is most certain. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy |
| | A yearning for religion was stirring in the world, and philosophy became enamoured of every religious doctrine Plotinus (third century after Christ), who must always remain the most perfect type of the neo-Platonic mentality, makes philosophy identical with religion, assigning as its highest aim the union of the soul with God by mystical ways. | | | The English Theism or Deism of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries criticizes all positive religion and, in the name of an innate religious sense, builds up a natural religion which is reducible to a collection of theses on the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. | | | Such are the questions of the nature of God, of His relation with the visible world, of man's origin and destiny Now religion, which precedes philosophy in the social life, naturally obliges it to take into consideration the points of religious doctrine. |

| | Adventures in Philosophy: A Brief History of Medieval Philosophy |
| | During the final stages of Greek philosophy, Christianity made its appearance, affirming and diffusing itself in the Hellenic world as the one true religion, revealed by God and announced to men by Jesus Christ, the God-man. | | | Here Christian thought, utilizing Greek speculation, created its own philosophy in harmony with the dogmatic teaching which had been systematized by the Fathers of the Church. | | | This solution is present in the content of all those revealed truths which Christianity offers as the object of faith, truths which are made concrete in the dogmas of theism, of creation, of the cause of evil, and of the means by which man can redeem himself from evil and attain happiness. |

| | Philosophy, Introduction |
| | We do not deny this, but do not believe that it is a good place to start in finding a definition. | | | It is tempting to distinguish philosophy on the basis of its content, that is its referents, or what it is "about". | | | This apparently analytic and linguistic understanding arises from the explicit recognition that all expression and communication, in particular all works of philosophy, the body of Principia Cybernetica, and this article itself, exist in a physical form as a series of symbol tokens in a particular modality and interpretable in a specific language and interpretational framework. |
