| Summary: | Though reasoning about religion has parallels with reasoning about other concepts, and religious narratives and doctrines share many features with other human endeavours that are marked by a free ontology, like literary creation, religious discourse itself has a singular character. If the supernatural is the object of religion, a notion which this essay critically engages, there is nothing comparable to this object. As such, religious discourse cannot model itself on any other and its issues can be non-reductively understood only with a singularity-model of philosophizing religion. This essay enunciates the first principles of a singularity-philosophy of religion, centred on the ontology of religious ideation through which it endeavours to clarify the calculi of reasoning about the phenomenon itself. It argues that religious ideation represents an equireversible, mediated, and perhaps merely formal ontology. Further religious belief, even at its acme, is pre-ideated and a matter of symmetry between God-conceptions of varied ontologies and diverse and changing experiential contexts of subjects and epochs. |
