Many years ago, people realized that the universe they are not alone.There is something higher, something more advanced than the whole of mankind put together.At all times, this "something" had different names: Messiah, God, the demon, the higher mind, however, the essence remains the same.All such beliefs are based on the supernatural power that it is on the level of higher and this, in turn, gives her the opportunity to manage the affairs and destiny of mankind.But here there is one tricky question.As the higher mind "controls" human act?In exploring this thorny issue, scientists named this phenomenon Providence.
Providence: a general description of the term
In the narrow sense of Providence - is a process of influence, control, and coordination of people and their behavior, fate, the process of life, feelings and emotions of some supernatural being, in other words, divine.Such a definition of the term is very complex and incomprehensible, but even here you can select rational.Scientists have suggested that God still exists.Moreover, having the mind and strength, it is able to influence the world of men.Thus, providence - an activity supernatural being called God.
Question Providence always stirred the minds of scientists for centuries.For the first time with this problem do the philosophers of ancient Greece.It is thanks to their reasoning, scientists of other sectoral sciences (theology, history and logic) can not simply be assumed, and use previously obtained knowledge about the issue of Providence.
Providence philosophy
representatives of many schools of thought have developed their understanding of the term providence.Every theory has the right to life as of today do not know how to actually operates the "mechanism".It should be noted that all theories are based on the same - divine intervention in human affairs.But the principle of "action" in every theory is excellent.For example, Socrates refers to the activities of the higher mind, as the very foundation of good.But this statement is largely not meet the reality, because it throws all the manifestations of human evil.It is a different understanding of providence given by Philo of Alexandria.According to his theory of providence - it is the action of the supreme deity, or the mind, aimed at achieving a balance in the world by using all necessary means.This causes the appearance of evil, because it is not always possible only with the help of good to achieve the desired result.
Providence - is a big part of the whole ancient philosophy.This knowledge has evolved and eventually pumped into the religious beliefs that have started active development in the Middle Ages.
Holy Providence
Religion and philosophy are connected with each other.But if the philosophy of tolerance of many points of view, religion is mainly resorts to the imperative method of securing one dominant point of view.
Take, for example, Christianity.In the context of the religion of God's providence serves as a means by which God governs all things and all this land.The aim of this "work" is the plan of God, which he wants to make.According to religious beliefs with the help of providence God is in control and affects absolutely everything: life, nature, destiny, the universe, the actions of people, etc.God is eternal, so he is doing everything to death to live in harmony with the world around them, and it requires total control of the entire universe.
Inaccuracies religious belief in providence
God's providence has a number of inaccuracies.For example, contrary to the notion of absolute control of the presence of consciousness in humans.God has given all people the freedom of choice, so why it is now selected.Also, do not understand the point of the existence of the world itself.If the higher mind all the "charge", then can we call our existence a reality.Similar questions arise constantly in the process of studying the factors of Providence.Many scientists have tried to answer them, but almost all have failed.
In conclusion, it should be noted that Providence - is the belief in the supernatural man himself and in his power to change habitual.We create for themselves gods, and all life is only in our hands.Actor Providence - is the man himself, but that's another theory.
