پلوراليزم ديني يا پلوراليزم در دين

Religious pluralism or pluralism within religion

The transcendent unity of religions is the common belief of all traditionalists. In their views, all religions, regardless of their being different appearantly, are essentially the same. As is clear, this view would lead to the truthness of all religions. Therefore, those believing in religious exclusivism could not be right. Contrary to John Hick, relying on the transcendent or essential unity of religions, have led to religious multiplicity. Traditionalists use mystical teachings and fundamental common elements of religions to explain their claims. The paper studies the foundations of this theory critically.
