Abstract

Religion and philosophy are two components that direct humans in achieving life goals. It is this fundamental difference that gives rise to the tendency for symmetrical and non-reciprocal development between philosophy and religion in the field of modern "knowledge". The terms philosophy and religion have meanings that are understood by many people in different ways. Philosophy in its operation begins with reason, while religion begins with revelation. Philosophy is a particular field of science that examines how humans can think deeply about something, while religion is a special field of science that examines how humans can behave and behave well based on a teaching that is in accordance with religious guidance. Basically between philosophy and religion have very basic differences, but the difference is not a cause of separation between the two, it can actually be a meeting point in solving a problem and providing solutions and solutions to a particular problem. Philosophy and religion in different positions will certainly produce different sources of knowledge. Where philosophy can find a scientific knowledge rationally, while religion can find a religious knowledge spiritually

Review

The paper, titled "Filsafat dan Agama" (Philosophy and Religion), addresses a perennially relevant and complex topic: the intricate relationship between philosophy and religion. The abstract immediately posits these two domains as fundamental guides for humanity in achieving life goals, a broad and ambitious starting point. It subsequently aims to explore their distinct operational mechanisms – reason for philosophy and revelation for religion – while simultaneously asserting that these differences, rather than being divisive, can serve as a convergence point for problem-solving and generating diverse forms of knowledge. This sets up an interesting exploration of both their divergence and potential synergy. While the abstract commendably highlights the fundamental distinction in the starting points of philosophy (reason) and religion (revelation), several points warrant further clarification and depth within the full paper. The claim of "symmetrical and non-reciprocal development" between philosophy and religion in modern knowledge is intriguing but remains undefined and unsubstantiated here, requiring significant elaboration and examples to be convincing. Furthermore, defining both philosophy and religion as "special fields of science" may be an oversimplification or a specific epistemological stance that needs explicit justification, particularly concerning religion, as this categorization might not align with common academic understanding. The abstract also makes a rapid transition from their role in guiding human goals to their "fundamental difference" leading to a specific kind of development, which could benefit from smoother logical progression. Overall, the abstract presents a compelling and important topic, offering a perspective that seeks to bridge rather than divide these two significant human endeavors. For the full paper to fully realize its potential, it must delve deeper into the nature of the "symmetrical and non-reciprocal development," providing concrete theoretical or historical examples to illustrate this concept. Precise definitions of "science" in this context for both philosophy and religion would also strengthen the argument. Elucidating *how* their differences become a "meeting point" for solving problems, and providing examples of these problems and their solutions, would transform this abstract's promising outline into a robust and insightful contribution to the discourse on philosophy and religion.
