Ideas
  • Nature of Religion
  • 2) Religion not a science

original and characteristic possession of
religion, it resigns, at once, all claims on
anything that belongs either to science or
morality
6
What is Religion?
The contemplation of the pious is the immediate
consciousness of the universal existence of all
finite things, in and through the Infinite
religion is essentially contemplative
7
An Affection
Yet religion is not knowledge and science,
either of the world or of God. Without being
knowledge, it recognises knowledge and science.
In itself it is an affection, a revelation of
the Infinite in the finite, God being seen in it
and it in God ...

Sentiments, feelings, or emotions, that evoke
and/or express a sense of the sacred.
