Both Spirituality and religion are complex phenomena, multidimensional in nature. Given our limited understanding of contemporary religion and spirituality, whereas, it is perhaps premature to insist on a single comprehensive definition of either term; as a result, no such attempt will be made in this article. Rather, the purpose of this paper is to examine religion and spirituality at a basic level by describing the fundamental characteristics of each construct, thereby identifying conceptual overlap and distinctiveness. As a result, what will be presented here is an overview and analysis of how religion and spirituality have been conceptualized and defined in the literature

Din ve Maneviyatı Kavramlaştırma: Birleşme ve Ayrılma Noktaları

Öz

Hem din hem de maneviyat, tabiatları itibariyle çok boyutlu ve kompleks fenomenlerdir. Dolayısıyla modern dini ve maneviyatı sınırlı kavrayışımız göz önünde tutulursa, her iki terimin kapsamlı ve tek bir tanımı üzerinde ısrar etmek için muhtemelen vakit erkendir. Bu sebeple bu makalede böyle bir girişimde bulunulmamakta, daha ziyade her iki kavramın temel özellikleri betimlenerek din ve maneviyat temel seviyede incelenmekte, böylece kavramsal aynılıkları ve farklılıkları tespit edilmekte ve sonuç itibariyle literatürde dinin ve maneviyatın nasıl kavramlaştırıldığının ve tanımlandığının bir analizine ve genel bir görünümüne yer verilmektedir.
