Description
Summary:Rethinking the Relationship Between Religions: Moving Beyond Liberal Tolerance -- Pluralism About What? Religion as Belief and Identity -- Religious Violence in a World of Conflicts: A Phenomenological Narrative -- Philosophical Hermeneutics of/for Religious Pluralism: Some Methodological Considerations -- Religious Pluralism and Ethics -- Some Reflections on the tenability of Pluralism: Transformation and Trivialization of Religions -- Mādhvas Tolerating Rival Truth Claims: Disagreement, Dialogue and Discernment -- Religion: One and Many -- Tagore and Gandhi: On Diversity and Religious ‘Others’ -- A Gandhian Solution to The Problem of Religious Intolerance.
This book combines the mainstream liberal arguments for religious tolerance with arguments from religious traditions in India to offer insights into appropriate attitudes toward religious ‘others’ from the perspective of the devout. The respective chapters address the relationship between religions from a comparative perspective, helping readers understand the meaning of religion and the opportunities for interreligious dialogue in the works of contemporary Indian philosophers such as Gandhi and Ramakrishna Paramhansa. It also examines various religious traditions from a philosophical viewpoint in order to reassess religious discussions on how to respond to differing and different religious others. Given its comprehensive coverage, the book is of interest to scholars working in the areas of anthropology, philosophy, cultural and religious diversity, and history of religion.
