Abstract
Since the period of the Enlightenment, the relation between morality and religion has
been the subject of more general philosophical analysis, as distinct from its treatment in
the hands of theologian. The general understanding is that as systems of thoughts,
morality and religion both considered very close to the essential nature of philosophy.
Philosophy gives its main thrust to the normative ideas. Descriptive realm says us wh~t is
the going on at present. HON one can make judgment about the descriptive realm. How
one can take a certain attitude towards the descriptive realm. A close analysis reveals that
human attitude not only malter descriptive realm, it also contains normative bite. Human
activities precisely contain attitudes, judgments towards certain given circumstances. The
explanations of human activity ofreject.ing or receiving with normative claim necessarily
presuppose norms.
