Document Summary
Religion: desire to speak fo things transcendent and eternal, with an authority that is equally so. History: claims to speak of things temporal and terrestrial in a human and fallible voice while staking its authority on rigorous critical practice. History is correctable, religion presents itself as incorrigible (though of course religion changes to t the time it is in) History is the method and religion is the subject of study: historical study of religions resists and reverses the orientation of the object it studies. Aristotle is concerned with ethics, the particular in order to build up and later build a theory. Aristotle appears to be a step ahead of plato. It can therefore not be translated and called the quran. English versions of the quran will qualify their translations. Same as the adoption of the vernacular in the catholic religion (is a mass still mass if it is not spoken in latin?)
