Paradigm: Religion and Philosopy

Just another crying voice preaching ONE belief....? Absolutely wrong! This blog is mainly educational. This may help those who are interested to know the beliefs and practices of other cultures. Of course, history is also discussed here; its origin and development.

About the title:

RELIGION

• Definition: a set of beliefs and practices often organized around supernatural and moral claims, and often codified as prayer, rituals, and religious laws; a cultural or behavioural aspect of ritual, liturgy and organized  worhship, often involving a priesthood, and societal norms of morality (ethos) and virtue (arete)  The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.
• Word Origin: latin word religio "reverence for God or the gods". Derive from ligare "bind, connect"; likely from a prefixed re-ligare, i.e. re (again) + ligare (connect) = "to reconnect."

PHILOSOPHY

• Definition: generally agreed as a method, rather than a set of claims, propositions, or theories. Its investigations are based upon rational thinking, striving to make no unexamined assumptions and no leaps based on faith or pure analogy. The critical analysis of fundamental assumptions or beliefs.
• Word Origin: greek words phil "love" and sophy "wisdom". Combined, the two elements mean both a love of wisdom and a desire for it.

PARADIGM

• Definition: a philosophical or theoretical framework of any kind; one that serves as a pattern or model. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
• Word Origin: derived from greek word word (παράδειγμα) paradeigma which means "pattern" or "example", or it is derived from the word (παραδεικνύναι) paradeiknunai meaning "to demonstrate".

The title itself is explainable. This is all about the different religions, fundamental assumptions, beliefs, and practices. And I am really excited with this home. Please drop by at my blog and learn together with me. Ask questions and we'll trace the answers together.
