IS THERE SALVATION THROUGH PHILOSOPHY?

Summary/Abstract: The idea of this text envisages the soteriological function of philosophy, which entitles us to ask ourselves some questions in this respect. We start from the premise that human reason was given to reach salvation, to achieve wisdom. If we can reach freedom, truth and happiness, wisdom and God through philosophy, doesn’t salvation involve all these? At the basis of such a research work lies a certain understanding of philosophy, of its core and purpose for human life, especially today, in a world devoid of rationality and wisdom. All the universal philosophical thought gives us the pros and cons of salvation through philosophy. While some philosophers do not support the metaphysical path toward salvation, other philosophies are the very doctrine of salvation. The philosophical way to God differs from the religious one, implicitly the path of salvation through philosophy is distinct from the religious experience. I believe that he who reaches the consciousness of transcendence has the ontological chance of salvation through philosophy.
