Summary: | This article provides the main theorems of John Hick’s hypothesis of religious pluralism. In the article, there are arguments against recognizing this hypothesis as justified. In the final part, the author comments on the radical religious pluralism of David Rogacz. Radical pluralism, in contrast to Hick's proposal, postulates assent as the transcendent reality of all deities or supernatural beings. The author presents criticism of this concept. The key to criticizing Rogacz's hypothesis is the lack of clear criteria that distinguish divinity, sacrum from profane. |
