The Necessity for the Establishment of the (Islamic) Philosophy of Religion, the logic of the Discovery of Religion, and the Philosophy of Religious Knowledge

Nowadays many new questions have arisen on the most important problems of religion, the discovery of religious propositions, and on religious knowledge. To answer these questions, we need to expand our understanding and innovation in four aspects of ‘understanding’ ‘concepts’ ‘making others understand’ and ‘fulfilment’ of religion. The Establishment and arrangement of ‘the philosophy of religion’, ‘the logic of the discovery of religion’ and ‘the philosophy of religious knowledge’ are of the most necessary examples of scientific innovation in the realm of religious studies and devoutness. The honourable researcher has found a perfect methodical system, after an endeavour of six years’ scientific contemplation for the discovery (understanding) of religion, which he has called ‘the Logic of the Discovery of Religious Propositions and doctrines’. In addition, he suggests another area called ‘the Philosophy of Religious Knowledge’ concerning the necessity of the rational overall study of the religious knowledge. The author of the article emphasizes the necessity of the establishment of an (Islamic) philosophy of religion, as he believes that the philosophy of the absolute religion is impossible, for the simple reason that philosophers of religion think of the established religions, and not the revealed religions, as the subject- matter of the philosophy of religion. In this article, the author has tried to explain the connection, distinction and relation of these domains with one another, besides explaining the necessity of their establishment and suggesting their definitions, ends and missions. ‘Qabasat’ welcomes scientific criticism and opinions about the claims of the article.
