I have suggested, however, that science is not as objective, nor religion as subjective, as the view dominant
among philosophers of religion has held.
Philosophy's recognition
of itself as
religion is neither achieved nor admitted by all
philosophers, but
among these who have recognized the identity
of philosophy and
religion are Socrates, Plotinus, Erigena, Spinoza, Hegel — in short, and in general, most
of the speculative, «Platonic» tradition, in opposition to the mainstream
of the analytic, «Aristotalian» tradition (if the reader will forgive such a gross oversimplification
of a very complex history
of thought).
