ETIMOLOGIA CUVÂNTULUI SUPERSTITION
From Latin superstitiō dread of the supernatural, from superstāre to stand still by something (as in amazement).
CE ÎNSEAMNĂ SUPERSTITION ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
Superstiție
Superstiția este credința în cauzalitatea supranaturală - că un eveniment duce la cauza altui, fără nici un proces natural care leagă cele două evenimente - astrologie, religie, omenești, vrăjitorie, profeții etc., care contrazic știința naturală. Opoziția față de superstiție a fost centrală pentru raționalistul secolului al XVII-lea, Benedict de Spinoza, și pentru intelectualii secolului al XVIII-lea al Iluminării. Filosofiile din acea vreme au respins orice credință în minuni, revelații, magie sau supranatural, ca "superstiție", precum și doctrină creștină neîntemeiată. Cuvântul superstiție este uneori folosit pentru a se referi la alte practici religioase decât cele care predomină într-o anumită societate, deși religia predominantă poate conține la fel de multe credințe superstițioase. Este, de asemenea, aplicată în mod obișnuit credințelor și practicilor care înconjoară norocul, profeția și ființele spirituale, în special convingerea că evenimentele viitoare pot fi prezise de anumite evenimente independente anterioare.
Definiția superstition în dicționarul Engleză
Prima definiție a superstiției în dicționar este credința irațională bazată, de obicei, pe ignoranță sau teamă și caracterizată de reverență obsesivă pentru omeni, farmece etc. O altă definiție a superstiției este o noțiune, un act sau un ritual care derivă dintr-o astfel de credință. Superstiția este, de asemenea, orice credință irațională, esp în ceea ce privește necunoscutul.
