Perspective of Phenomenal Approaches Religious Language (Example of Alfred Jules Ayer)
Abstract
Various expression styles of religious terminology have been extracted from human literature to address holy cretaures. Choosing arguments based on human experience enabling expression on "holy/sacred" has been suggesting a good point of criticism for those having problem with holy, therefore, with the transcendental reality. Positivists that have been maintaining increasing influence to mid-20th century from the 1 8 th century capitalized this aspect to harshly criticize religion and its utterance. However, the religion, the other products which belonged to the human, is a component pertain to society culture. Thus religious utterence has a comprehensible, credible and acceptable dimension. Collectivist, mono perspective and regular logic rejection is not a appropriate approach. In order to overcome such a status quo favoured, shallow perspective and in order to understand the language of a religion of any kind, one has to refer to the life styles within the society's culture which this language of religion uses and from there to refer to the different paradigms of use, consequently to refer to its detailed grammar.
