Dali lama religious harmony
Philip Quinn
• Serious reflection on the undeniable reality of the religious diversity will weaken an individual justification of his superiority
• Weaken justification will lead to religious tolerance
Religious pluralism
• All world religion are correct each offering a different path and partial perspective viz-a -viz one ult reality
• Analogy of blind and elephant - viewpoint are constricted by our encultured concept
• John Hick - example of rabbit duck picture of later Wittgenstein, ineffable, indescribable real can be explained in different religion as allah , brahman , sunyata etc
• Kant noumena
Logically contradictory
• makes an exclusive (non-pluralistic ) claim abt real , salvation , liberation
• Hick asserted his own view is truer & superior to all other
Leads to scepticism abt real
• Know block epistemic capacity - agnosticism
• Real bcom fiction , projection of human psychology or even wish fulfilment
Aspectual pluralism
• Remove pluralistic hypothesis , explain reality as completely real & knowable unlike pluralistic noumena
• Obj ult reality , which is knowable to us
• Reality manifest different aspect in different religion
Leads to syncretism
• Since every religion capture only 1 aspect , thus need for syncretic world religion appears
Scepticism
• Due to aspectual nature of religion
Religion inclusivism & exclusivism
• Both agrees
• One religion conception are truer than other
• Different religion contain incompatible truth
• One obj reality to which religious truth claim correspondence
• Inclusivist - 1 religion true, other contain some truth , follower can get salvation
• Ex jainism anekatvada
• Theistic inclusivist - god manifest in all religion but clearly manifest in 1 religion - disagree abt salvation process
• Exclusivist only 1 religion is true, other do not contain truth , can't get salvation
• Myth of neutrality - no obj criteria to decide which is true which is false
• Justice objection - it would be unjust for g to condemns ppl to external misery simply bcoz due to their lack of know
• Lead to religious egoism ./ egotism
