| The best of philosophy dispells faith, and is opposed to the lay theology of Boethius, founder of the Scholastics, who taught Christians to "join" their faith to reason.
The best of philosophy keeps its powers of reason separate from faith. As William of Occam, the Franciscan theologian said, faith is faith and is all one has to connect people with their god.
Religion is the practice of acts of faith.
Philososophy is the practice of reason, because that is epistemological. In faith there is no epistemology. |
