But the question is what if the religion that so many people have placed faith in had disappeared? Could the existence of man survive the hardships that all life endures with out the consultation of religion? It seems Freud believes that the embracement of religion is on the decline. Religion is wish-full thinkin

These things conveyed through William James about mysticism contradict Freud’s beliefs. The truth-value of all of these claims can be recognized through psychological nature. Freud asks if there is any reality at all behind religion because religion is derived from human society and those who created these doctrines. These mystical experiences claim to have truth and deception from James, yet Freud feels that the truth-values of these claims have no truth to these mystical experience what so ever. I feel he would say this because Freud is a man of logic and reason. He feels that all of mankind must grow out of their childhood state of life. This process may leave some illusions and wishes but these illusions can be corrected. Freud’s belief for faith in science and the acquisition of knowledge through verifiable experience reinforces his doubt of these mystical experiences as basis for religious belief.

William James claims to define his mystical states of consciousness as “real?experiences. These experiences tend to fade quickly as the experience is just out of reach in our memories. But he claims that some type of memory content always remains in tact. He claims that some of these mysticism’s come in variations of higher degree. The supernaturalism and optimism that persuade us gives insight into our lives. These mysticism’s give hypotheses and add a supersensuous meaning to the ordinary outward stem of consciousness. They are excitements to the mind as the emotion of love; it gives the facts of life new spirit and new meaning with a new perspective in our active life.

But the question is what if the religion that so many people have placed faith in had disappeared? Could the existence of man survive the hardships that all life endures with out the consultation of religion? It seems Freud believes that the embracement of religion is on the decline. Religion is wish-full thinking and by this Freud feels that religion has had its time to convey to the world what it can do for the human existence. Yet, the majority of people in society are still unhappy with their lives. It is unfortunate to think he does not support the following of religious belief yet I ask doesn’t religion account for the basis of societies moral stature? To answer this I feel Freud believes that morality comes with the growth of a human in their surroundings. A person must master their reality with their own resources along with allowing themselves to fall into their un-escapable fate.

Freud’s analysis is based upon our own scientific investigation where as Broad believes that the origin is created through those who have traced back religions to experiences. The outlines of these beliefs are fixed to a certain time and place by the founder who developed their experience to those of traditional values and beliefs. The mystics of their experiences are the basis of religion as compared to that of those who have yet to or may never have given validity to their beliefs.

In conclusion, of the three philosophers here Freud follows the path of scientific study as opposed to those of James and Broads views based upon mystical experiences. The beliefs contradict each other in the fact that one cannot be proven without any evidence while the other feels that there have been so many experiences that to ignore them is to ignore any evidence of god.

Broad sentiments towards Freud’s beliefs are that of discontent. Broad feels that it is merely to simple to hold the religious experience of all of
