Basic Concers of Western Philosophy and Education by Suhotra Maharaja

Religion means a kind of faith. It is not faith. It is a science. Science must be based on logic and philosophy. Science means that. And religion means sometimes sentiments. So religion without philosophy is sentiment, and philosophy without religion is mental speculation. Both must be combined. Then it is perfect. You cannot have religion without philosophy. That is sentiment, fanaticism. And if you simply take philosophy without religion, without sense of God, this is mental speculation. So religion must be on the basis of science and logic. That is first-class religion.

"The book is aimed at people who read Srila Prabhupada's books. Not necessarily full-time devotees. It actually turns out to be a very "straight" Krsna conscious presentation. But the presentation is through philosophy. A major theme throughout are the problems of epistemology, logic, metaphysics and ethics. While presenting these, I am very careful not to lose the reader. I assume the reader is intelligent but may not be familiar with these philosophical issues."
