§ 4. Origin of Greek Philosophy 1

THE philosophy of the Hellenes emancipates itself from their religion in the form of theology and gnomic mo rality. Aryan naturalism, modified by the national genius

2 That is to say, philosophy is of comparatively recent origin, while religion, which precedes it historically, is as old as nations and humanity itself. Philosophy, being a late product of human development, plays but a subordinate and intermittent part in history. Religion, on the other hand, guides its destinies. It is the primordial and permanent expression of what lies at the very root of our nature, that is, the will, and consists essentially in the will to be, until the evolution of consciousness enables it to foresee its highest and absolute end, the good. To will-to-live means to resist annihilation, consequently, to dread everything that is supposed to have the power of destroying and of preserving life. Now, the horror of death and of the forces which produce it, the passionate desire for life and whatever is able to preserve it, is precisely what constitutes the essence of evoéBeta, the characteristic trait of the religious phenomenon. This is so true that we find the belief in immortality and the worship of the dead as beings that continue to live in spite of all, intimately connected with all religions. Such a belief simply represents the desire of the will-to-live to continue even after death and beyond the grave.
