Abstract:
Reason has many functions and achievements In research "within rellglon" and "concerning rellglon" as well as In rellgloslty and reallzatlon of rellglon. From among eight classlflcatlons of functions, the most Important one Is dividing It to general and particular functions, which Is discussed In brief. While confessing that such a subject may not be discussed sufflclently In an article , the author has proposed a plan titled" Detailed Structure of Function and Appllcatlon of Reason In Study of Rellglon" which may be employed as an Introduction to an Inclusive and perfect research.
Machine summary:
