QUÉ SIGNIFICA SUPERSTITION EN INGLÉS

Superstición

Superstition

La superstición es la creencia en la causalidad sobrenatural -que un evento conduce a la causa de otro sin ningún proceso natural que vincule los dos eventos -como la astrología, la religión, los presagios, la brujería, las profecías, etc.- que contradiga la ciencia natural. La oposición a la superstición fue central para el siglo XVII, el racionalista Benedicto de Spinoza y los intelectuales de la Edad de la Ilustración del siglo XVIII. Los filósofos rechazaban entonces toda creencia en los milagros, la revelación, la magia o lo sobrenatural, como "superstición", así como la doctrina cristiana irracional. La palabra superstición a veces se usa para referirse a prácticas religiosas diferentes a la que prevalece en una sociedad dada, aunque la religión predominante puede contener tantas creencias supersticiosas. También se aplica comúnmente a las creencias y prácticas que rodean la suerte, la profecía y los seres espirituales, en particular la creencia de que los eventos futuros pueden ser predichos por eventos específicos anteriores no relacionados.

Superstition is the belief in supernatural causality—that one event leads to the cause of another without any natural process linking the two events—such as astrology, religion, omens, witchcraft, prophecies, etc., that contradicts natural science. Opposition to superstition was central to 17th century Rationalist Benedict de Spinoza and the intellectuals of the 18th century Age of Enlightenment. The philosophes at that time rejected any belief in miracles, revelation, magic, or the supernatural, as "superstition," as well as unreasoned Christian doctrine. The word superstition is sometimes used to refer to religious practices other than the one prevailing in a given society, although the prevailing religion may contain just as many superstitious beliefs. It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the belief that future events can be foretold by specific unrelated prior events.
