Religious Pluralism: Generic, Identist, and Deep

Summary/Abstract: Whereas “religous diversity” refers to the simple sociological fact that there are many religious traditions, often within a single country, “religous pluralism” refers to beliefs and attitudes. Religious pluralists do not believe that their own religion is the only legitimate one. They believe that other religions can provide positive values and truths, even salvation – however defined – to their adherents. So, the articulation of religious beliefs, including beliefs about religious diversity, inevitebly involves the use of philosophical ideas. Some philosophical positions discourage religious pluralism. Other positions encourage pluralism, but only superficial versions thereof. The present essay is based on the conviction that the philosophy articulated by Alfred North Whitehead encourages not only religious pluralism in the generic sense, but deep religious pluralism and its importance is in calling attention to the urgent need to make the pluralistic turn in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
