But we do not think as clearly as we would like. We can not perceive the world as mathematics, know the exact answers to all our questions. All that we see and know is distorted through the prism of our understanding of reality, and each individual has this prism built individually. Forms of philosophical understanding of reality, such as religion, morality, art can both distort and truly complement the information that surrounds us. Yet each of these forms is an integral part of the culture itself, society, and each of the individuals. Religion, morality and art are what shape us, our personality, our individuality. Some philosophers believe that a person who has ruled out these concepts from his life can no longer be considered full-fledged. Since birth, we do not know anything about religion, morality and art as forms of philosophical reflection on reality. We acquire these concepts in the society, among people who connect each of them with their culture. We are only given a biological opportunity to comprehend, penetrate, develop, use and realize.
What is religion? What forms of philosophical understanding of reality does it conceal? Religion is a special form of human experience, the main basis of which is belief in the sacred, supreme, supernatural. It is the difference of faith in the presence or absence of the sacral that distinguishes both our perception and behavior, the formation of the personality associated with it. Religion is a systemic cultural education that includes religious organizations, cult, consciousness, religious ideology and psychology. From this we see that often a person's psychology depends on religious ideology, as its formative and regulating factor, which is formed in the environment. The realization of reality, connected with the sacred, is radically different from the person who does not accept religion. Therefore, it is one of the main forms of philosophical understanding of reality.
Art is a form of human creativity, a sphere of its activity and realization of itself in the world that surrounds it. Creativity and art are forms of awareness not only of reality, but of oneself. Having created, a person puts into art that prism of awareness or even distortion, on which his thinking is capable. Both modern and ancient philosophy define art in different ways. Unlike every other form of perception, art expresses the degree of the individual's sensibility, his individuality.
The main characteristics of art are the unity in it of sensuality and fantasy, polysemy and multilingualism, the creation of an image and a symbol. Art is studied not only by philosophy, but also by psychology, since by creating, the individual always leaves in the work a particle of himself, a reflection not only of his perception of the world, but also of the characteristics of his personality. Berdyaev Nikolai Alexandrovich said about creativity as follows: "Cognition - is being. The new knowledge of the creative power of man and the world can only be a new being ... Creativity of created creatures can be directed only to the growth of the creative energy of being, to the growth of beings and their harmony in the world, to the creation of unprecedented values, unprecedented ascent in truth, and beauty, that is, to the creation of cosmos and cosmic life, to the pleroma, to supermundane fullness. "
Morality is a system of norms created by a person to regulate his behavior in society. Morality is different from morality, since it is also a special form of human consciousness, since it is expressed by the sphere of striving for the ideal-due. Morality is also a part of culture and is provided by public opinion, it is omnipresent and penetrates into all spheres of a person who also possesses such characteristics as a person, despite the fact that this is a valuable moral set of the whole kind.
Religion and morality, as well as art as a form of philosophical reflection of reality, are the system that completely complements the prism of human perception, shapes its personality and regulates its behavior. Forms of perception are formed in society and are a reflection of his culture, so it is not strange that different times and peoples have different forms of understanding reality. The nature of culture, the correlation of traditions and innovations in it, the forms of its comprehension are also the basis of its historical dynamics, define its direction and content. Consciousness and awareness of the people is formed according to its history, so it is so important to understand and realize who you are and the society that surrounds you.
