The sensory perception as “experiencing-as” in John Hick’s philosophy of religion – selected issues

Summary/Abstract: In the article I present the role of the concept of sensory cognition in JohnHick’s philosophy of religion. I present Hick’s argument for the similarity of religiousbeliefs to scientifi c knowledge. Hick does this by introducing an element of interpre-tation in each of the four areas of knowledge: sensual, aesthetic, moral and religious.Then I present how, based on sensory knowledge, Hick tries to demonstrate the ratio-nality of religious beliefs. We are talking here about rational religious belief withoutproos. Finally, I show how, based on the concept of sensory cognition, Hick proposesthe so-called the hypothesis of religious pluralism.
