Definition of Philosophy OF Religion

The author of this article mentions that "philosophy of religion" is combined of "philosophy" and "religion" and emphasizes that both words have a lot of diversity in the status of existence and affirmation. Therefore it is very difficult and useless to present a posterior definition of philosophy of religion. Explaining the theory of "coherence of bases of religion" which he suggests in philosophy of science, he believes if we present the definition according to this theory, the problem will be settled. He also mentions the conditions of a correct definition and the specialties of a "preeminent definition" and criticizes most of the previous definitions of philosophy of religion. He then presents his selected definition of "philosophy of religion". His recommended definition of philosophy of religion is: "the knowledge (or systematic cognition) responsible for a general-rational study "about religion" and "in religion" to access the general commands of religion and its basic elements. At the end of the article he has explained the components of his recommended definition and emphasizes that this definition does not have any of the problems of the previous definitions.
