Topic: Philosophy of religion


  
 Philosophy of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philosophy of religion is the rational study of the meaning and justification of fundamental religious claims, particularly about the nature and existence of God (or gods, or the divine).
Philosophy of religion as a part of metaphysics
However, philosophy of religion is predominantly an inquiry into the nature of God and religious belief (not religions per se).

 Feminist Philosophy of Religion
Feminist philosophy of religion should try to follow the path of desire to/for the divine, and forego the preoccupation with the rational justification of beliefs and the evaluation of truth-claims.
Feminist philosophy of religion is important to feminist and nonfeminist philosophy alike for providing a critical understanding of various religious concepts, beliefs, and rituals, as well as of religion as a cultural institution that defines, sanctions, and sometimes challenges gender roles and gender-inflected representations.
Whereas at the mid-point of the twentieth century philosophy of religion was virtually defined by the assumptions and methods of logical positivism and empiricism, in subsequent years new and technically rigorous contributions by religiously committed philosophers began to enliven old theistic arguments.

India is the home of Philosophy, Religion and Spirituality.

 Kant's Philosophy of Religion
Bibliography for The Influence of Kant's Philosophy of Religion
These are the philosophical function of the concept of God, arguments for the existence of God, the relationship between morality and religion (including the notions of “moral faith” and “radical evil”), and the role of religion in the dynamics of human culture and history.
The purpose of this revelation, however, is not to add something essential that would be otherwise lacking in the religion of reason, but to serve as a vehicle for the free assent that the religion of reason invites as the response of an authentic faith.

 Myth, Religion, and Philosophy
Ancient religions did not grow out of magic, and science does not address many, or most, of the concerns that have actually been central in traditional religion and philosophy.
Philosophy cannot conjure up historical particulars out of pure reason, but religion always relates its truth to historical particulars, the actual source of the religion or its received tradition.
Definitions for religion and philosophy must involve similar distinctions, where the original context of all thought is mythic.

 Philosophy of Religion
The basic form of belief is theism, the belief in God as traditionally understood in the monotheistic (that is, single-God) religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Nevertheless, most religions make their own truth-claims and no more than one of them can be correct in so doing (or so we would usually say, with the alternatives and what truth means considered in our tenth discussion).
A relatively new current in the philosophy of religion is reformed epistemology, originating with the writings of Plantinga, Wolterstorff and Alston.
