"In this paper, I want to make a philosophical argument against exclusivism and then proceed to offer an answer to the problem of diversity that is not exclusivist. However, the view that I will offer is also not pluralist in the sense advocated by John Hick. That is, I reject the idea that there is a transcendant reality about which we can know nothing substantive and yet is the ground of all our religious traditions. Also, exclusivism and pluralism both assume that the propositional aspect of exclusivism is fundamental. I don't. Instead, I argue that we need a "communicative pluralist" answer to the problem of diversity." [from article, by author]
