| Zusammenfassung: | The traditional discussions regarding religious beliefs were concerned about establishing the truth of a particular statement or a system of statements, but had often neglected the question of their meaning. But, according to the logical positivist position, unless the issue of the meaning of religious statements is first resolved, we cannot even raise the question of their truth. This constituted a challenge to religion, since some of the philosophers came to the conclusion through the analysis of religious language that it has no meaning; and hence we cannot speak about the truth of religious propositions. |
