对以美育代宗教、以科学代宗教、以哲学代宗教的思考

以美育代宗教、以科学代宗教、以哲学代宗教的设想都有一定依据,但它们当中的任何一种似乎都不能实现单独取代宗教的目标。相对而言,以美育代宗教适应面更大一些。"以宗教代美育"是一股逆流。科学不需要,不应该,也不能够成为信仰。没有自然科学发展作支撑,哲学是无法回答有关信仰的深层次问题的。

The assumption of replacing religion with aesthetic education, with science, or with philosophy has a certain basis, but any of them seemes unable to take the place of religion alone. Comparatively, substituting religion with aesthetic education applies more extensively.＂Substituting aesthetic education with religion＂goes against the stream. And it is neither necessary, nor able for science to become belief. Philosophy fails to answer the deeper questions about belief without the support of natural science development.
