Religious Pluralism

Toward a Comparative Metaphysics of Religion

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ultimate reality is often characterized in terms of a variety of what are thought to be incompatible concepts, like God, Dao, Brahman, etc. This book examines the plausibility of a genuine religious pluralism, arguing against relativism but in favor of the authenticity of a plurality of the world's major religious traditions.
