 | | Philosophy of religion: the study of the meaning of the concept of God and of the rationality or otherwise of belief in the existence of God. | | | Western philosophy has had a tremendous influence on, and has been greatly influenced by, Western religion, science, and politics. | | | The Empiricist tradition in modern philosophy often held that religious questions are beyond the scope of human knowledge, and many have claimed that religious language is literally meaningless: there are not even questions to be answered. |

| | Western Philosophy |
| | The Platonic philosophy was combined with the Christian concept of a personal God who created the world and predestined its course, and with the doctrine of the fall of humanity, requiring the divine incarnation in Christ. | | | He maintained, in a modified version of the so-called double-truth doctrine of Averroes, that all religious beliefs are matters of faith, except for the belief in the existence of God, which he regarded as logically provable. | | | The truths of natural science and philosophy are discovered by reasoning from facts of experience, whereas the tenets of revealed religion, the doctrine of the Trinity, the creation of the world, and other articles of Christian dogma are beyond rational comprehension, although not inconsistent with reason, and must be accepted on faith. |

| | Philosophy is distinguished from theology in that philosophy rejects dogma and deals with speculation rather than faith. | | | Historically most philosophy has either centered on religious beliefs, or science. | | | In Ancient Greek philosophy, these five broad types of questions were respectively called analytical or logical, epistemological, ethical, metaphysical, and aesthetic. |

| | Comparative Philosophy: Chinese and Western |
| | Finally, recall the case of the Buddhist ideal of impersonal concern being brought to bear on a debate in Western philosophy over the viability of ideals of impersonal concern. | | | However, as the above comparison with Parfit suggests, there are themes in Western philosophy that parallel the kind of impersonal altruism urged upon us by Buddhism. | | | But it must also be noted that there is argument in Chinese philosophy. |

| | Sketches in the History of Western Philosophy |
| | Philosophy revived through the adaptation of the Neoplatonism of Late Antiquity to Islam: the One became God, and the lesser gods became angels. | | | Familiar with the whole of Greek and Hellenistic philosophy, Philo sought to reconcile it, indeed to identify it, with the meaning and teachings of the Bible. | | | His introduction to Aristotle's logical works, the Isagoge ("Introduction"), became one of the most important texts of Mediaeval philosophy, attracting commentaries by Boethius and Peter Abelard; and his Against the Christians began the long and futile rearguard action against the new religion on behalf of the old. |

| | Philosophia means "lover of wisdom", and originally Philosophy was the Jnanan Yoga or Knowledge Path to Enlightenment of the West. | | | Philosophy is the structured method by which one uses reason and linear logic to arrive at an understanding of the nature of things. | | | Yet when we look at the history of Western Philosophy we see it represents a long march from wisdom tradition to secular intellectualism. |

| | A structured course on Buddhism, Buddhist meditation and philosophy. | | | I would therefore recommend this more as a reference book for those who have studied at least a little philosophy, so that Russell's more ridiculous claims can be safely skipped and his arguments rated against those who have interpreted the philosophers in question more favourably. | | | The problem with reviewing this book is that although stylystically interesting, well written (to a degree) and certainly comprehensive, it is not the definitive introduction to philosophy it should be. |

| | Western Philosophy |
| | Derived from the Greek meaning “love of wisdom”, philosophy originally encompassed the love of all wisdom, but only in recent centuries came to refer to a special branch of enquiry, separate from other sciences, such as “natural philosophy”. | | | [See Hegel’s reflections on the beginnings of philosophy in the Doctrine of Being, and in the Science of Logic.] | | | The revival of the philosophical legacy of the Ancient Greeks (particularly the individualism and scientific interests of the Stoics) and a number of important natural scientific and technical discoveries, and challenges to the authority of the Church promoted the development of Rationalism. |
