Religious Diversity: A Philosophical Defense of Religious Inclusivism
European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 2 (2):127 - 140 (2010)
| Abstract | Faced by the challenge of religious plurality, most philosophers of religion view pluralism and exclusivism as the most accepted and fully developed positions. The third alternative, the model of inclusivism, held especially within the Catholic tradition, has not received adequate attention in the debates in philosophy of religion, perhaps as it is based solely on theological grounds. In this essay I offer a philosophical defense of the position of religious inclusivism and give reasons why this position represents the most appropriate position in the face of conflicting religious truth claims | |||||||||
