PHILOSOPHY
What We Reason
Part I of IV
We have religion, science, and philosophy to help us develop perceptions of what we are and why we exist.
Why would we ever decide to throw any of the three out when they each have contributions to make?
They each uniquely address the three means of perception we have available to us.
We sense what appears to be through intuition, faith, religion.
We see what appears to be through observation, measurement, science.
We rationalize what appears to be through reason, logic, philosophy.
One does not necessarily lead to another.
What we sense may not be observable.
What we see may not be logical.
What we reason may not be sensible.
We must not give up any one for another.
Each is unique in their own way.
Each has something special to offer.
Each represents a special means by which we are able to understand ourselves and others.
With religion, we use faith to tell us what we are, what the universe is, what a Causative Force is, and how the three are interrelated.
With science, we use observations to tell us what we are, what the universe is, what the Causative Force is, and how the three are interrelated.
With philosophy, we use reason to tell us what we are, what the universe is, what the Causative Force is, and how the three are interrelated.
The order of development of each is not surprising.
