Philosophy opposed to Theology and/or Religion

September 6th,

Philosophy
 
In class, we discussed how philosophy is the nature of the self. It could also be the nature of an alternate reality. Compared to Theology and/ or Religion, I believe that philosophy comes out of whatever is studied. It is what is to be believed about Religion or the study of theology.
 
 
For example, in each religion there are teachings that each person should take away. However, I think each person will respond differently to what they have learned and have opinions. This is their philosophy to what religion/theology is teaching the human race.
 
 
With philosophy there is a need for tolerance, as we had brought up the British Philosopher, McGinn. He said that tolerance was not refusing to criticize a person's beliefs or ideas, but also not persecuting someone for what they believe in.
