Philosophy is
the process of thinking rationally and critically about the most
basic and important questions of life: what gives life meaning,
what is ultimately real, what is the character of value or
ethics, how do I distinguish knowledge from the varying opinions
of what people claim to be true, what constitutes sound
reasoning?
Religious Studies
utilizes the insights and methods of such diverse fields as
literary criticism, linguistics, iconography, anthropology,
psychology, sociology, and history in order to analyze and
explore the essential character of the religious dimension of
life, especially the various ways in which religious experience
has been or is understood and expressed in the world. No
religious or irreligious beliefs are required in such study.
