Pantheism Pantheism is the belief that the universe (or nature as the totality of everything) is identical with divinity,[1] or that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God.[2] Pantheists thus do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god.[3] Some Eastern religions are considered to be pantheistically inclined. Definitions[edit] Pantheism is derived from the Greek roots pan (meaning "all") and theos (meaning "God"). There are a variety of definitions of pantheism. Some consider it a theological and philosophical position concerning God.[4]:p.8 As a religious position, some describe pantheism as the polar opposite of atheism.[5] From this standpoint, pantheism is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing, immanent God.[2] All forms of reality may then be considered either modes of that Being, or identical with it.[7] Others hold that pantheism is a non-religious philosophical position.

Irréligion en France Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. En France, la montée de l'irréligion (agnosticisme, athéisme, déisme, libre-pensée...) suit un chemin inverse du déclin du catholicisme et parallèle à la montée du bouddhisme, de l'islam et du protestantisme[réf. nécessaire]. Les « sans religion » en France[modifier | modifier le code] La catégorie « sans religion » inclut non seulement les agnostiques et les athées, mais aussi les déistes (croyants sans religion) et les libres-penseurs. Depuis 1981, les sans religion connaissent une très forte croissance[1] : En 2012, les sans religion sont même majoritaires parmi les 18-34 ans (52 %)[4].

World Pantheism - The online community for naturalistic Pantheists Epicurus Ancient Greek philosopher For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to help people attain a happy, tranquil life characterized by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (the absence of pain). He advocated that people were best able to pursue philosophy by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. Like Aristotle, Epicurus was an empiricist, meaning he believed that the senses are the only reliable source of knowledge about the world. Though popular, Epicurean teachings were controversial from the beginning.

Pantheist Culture Is Pantheist Culture for you? This site is made to display information relevant to Naturalistic Pantheists (also known as Scientific or Monist Physicalist Pantheists). One of Naturalistic Pantheism's biggest weaknesses is a lack of exposure to the public - billions simply have not heard of it or have been misinformed about the real belief set, hindering the formation of the community. The World Pantheist Movement has a page devoted to general promotional methods, upon which this site attempts to expand (except for leaflets - the leaflet page is quite thorough). This page's various subpages (also linked in the sidebar and at the bottom of the page) include pro-Pantheist lists of pictures, Accurate Representations, and outside attacks, accompanied by responses. Other sections of the site deal with everyday tools for Pantheists looking to share and celebrate the experience. What is Naturalistic Pantheism? Other Pantheist Sites:
Western philosophy Origins[edit] The scope of philosophy in the ancient understanding, and the writings of (at least some of) the ancient philosophers, were all intellectual endeavors. This included the problems of philosophy as they are understood today; but it also included many other disciplines, such as pure mathematics and natural sciences such as physics, astronomy, and biology (Aristotle, for example, wrote on all of these topics.) The term "Western philosophy" is at times unhelpful and vague, since the definition involves a vast variety of distinct traditions, political groups, religious groups, and individual writers over thousands of years. Western philosophical subdisciplines[edit] Western philosophers have often been divided into some major branches, or schools, based either on the questions typically addressed by people working in different parts of the field, or notions of ideological undercurrents. Within these broad branches there are now numerous sub-disciplines of philosophy.
Agnosticisme Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L’agnosticisme est une position philosophique considérant la vérité de certaines propositions concernant notamment l'existence de Dieu ou des dieux comme inconnaissable[1],[2] : à la différence des croyants, considérant probable ou certaine l'existence de telles divinités, ou des athées l'estimant impossible, les agnostiques refusent de trancher[3]. Si le degré de scepticisme varie selon les individus, les agnostiques s'accordent pour dire qu'il n'existe pas de preuve définitive en faveur de l'existence ou de l'inexistence du divin, et affirment l'impossibilité de se prononcer. Termes proches[modifier | modifier le code] Les termes suivants sont proches, mais néanmoins distincts, de l'agnosticisme : Étymologie[modifier | modifier le code] Positions philosophiques[modifier | modifier le code] « Peut-être qu'il sera possible, un jour, de savoir si Dieu existe ou non.

Altruism Giving alms to the poor is often considered an altruistic action. Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures and a core aspect of various religious traditions and secular worldviews, though the concept of "others" toward whom concern should be directed can vary among cultures and religions. Altruism or selflessness is the opposite of selfishness. Altruism can be distinguished from feelings of loyalty. Much debate exists as to whether "true" altruism is possible. The notion of altruism[edit] The concept has a long history in philosophical and ethical thought. Individual variations[edit] A certain individual may behave altruistically in one case and egoistically in another situation. A 1986 study estimated that altruism was half-inherited. Scientific viewpoints[edit] Anthropology[edit] Marcel Mauss's book The Gift contains a passage: "Note on alms." Evolutionary explanations[edit] Group selection.
Qu’est-ce qui différencie un agnostique d’un athée ? Le terme "agnosticisme" vient du grec a (privatif) et gnosis ("connaissance"). Selon cette conception philosophique, tout ce qui dépasse le domaine de l’expérience est inconnaissable. Il est donc impossible à l’homme de se prononcer sur l’existence de Dieu. Mais la question de Dieu reste présente. Des agnostiques comme Marcel Gauchet ou Luc Ferry en témoignent. Lors d’une conférence de décembre 2010 à la paroisse Saint-Eustache, à Paris, le théologien dominicain Claude Geffré constatait que même chez les chrétiens confrontés à la modernité et faisant l’expérience d’un recul toujours croissant "du croyable disponible" se développe un "agnosticisme latent qui provient d’une conscience aiguë d’un pluralisme religieux". En revanche dans la culture occidentale moderne et contemporaine l'athéisme, du grec theos "dieu" précédé de l'a-privatif) désigne le rejet de l’existence même de Dieu. Martine de Sauto.

Positivism Positivism is the philosophy of science that information derived from logical and mathematical treatments and reports of sensory experience is the exclusive source of all authoritative knowledge,[1] and that there is valid knowledge (truth) only in this derived knowledge.[2] Verified data received from the senses are known as empirical evidence.[1] Positivism holds that society, like the physical world, operates according to general laws. Introspective and intuitive knowledge is rejected, as is metaphysics and theology. Although the positivist approach has been a recurrent theme in the history of western thought,[3] the modern sense of the approach was developed by the philosopher Auguste Comte in the early 19th century.[4] Comte argued that, much as the physical world operates according to gravity and other absolute laws, so does society.[5] Etymology[edit] Overview[edit] Antecedents[edit] Auguste Comte[edit] Antipositivism[edit] Main article: antipositivism In historiography[edit]
