The relationship of religion and philosophy according to Dücane Cündioğlu

Looking at the history of thought, it is seen that philosophical movements interact with each other. Each new thought is affected by the thoughts before it, as well as the thoughts that come after it. There are many thinkers who have a say in the field of philosophy of religion, where new ideas are constantly emerging. Although the ideas put forward by each philosopher cause controversy from time to time, the expansion of perspectives has also been effective in bringing new interpretations to new ideas. Philosophy has led to the recognition of the philosopher's personalities and ideas in the classical period, in the modernization process and today.
