  • Nowe pogranicze religii i nauki. Doświadczenie religijne, neuronauka i Transcendentne

    John Hick, Tomasz Sieczkowski et al.BOOKNowe pogranicze religii i nauki.…2019

    Czy świadomość to tylko aktywność mózgu? Co dzieje się w naszym mózgu podczas mistycznej ekstazy? Czym jest pluralizm religijny? Jak go pogodzić z własną praktyką wiary? John Hick podejmuje wyzwanie rzucone przez naturalistyczne koncepcje umysłu, według których doświadczenie religijne można wytłumaczyć naukowo jako wytwór procesów zachodzących w naszym mózgu. Hick w fascynujący sposób opisuje przeżycia związane z doświadczeniami religijnymi oraz …

    This is a collection of John Hick's essays on the understanding of the world's religions as different human responses to the same ultimate transcendent reality. He is in dialogue with contemporary phi

  • Response to Knepper

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies2009

    Having cited Dionysius as one of the many Christian thinkers who affirm the ineffability, or transcategoriality, of God in God's ultimate inner being, I respond to Timothy D. Knepper's claim that this is a mistake. Whilst accepting much that he says about Dionysius, I still prefer the standard interpretation of the Dionysian texts as teaching the total transcategoriality of the Transcendent as ‘surpassing all discourse and all knowledge’

  • D. Z. Phillips on God and evil

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies2007

    This a response to D. Z. Phillips's stringent critique of theodicies, including that suggested by myself. I offer counters to his array of arguments, and point to what I see as a fundamental flaw in his philosophy of religion. He appealed to religious language as used by ordinary religious persons. But his account of the meaning of this language was not that of the ordinary religious believer. He thus claimed, by implication, to know better than …

  • Exclusivism versus pluralism in religion: A response to Kevin Meeker

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies2006

    I argue that Meeker is mistaken in two crucial respects. First, contrary to both myself and Plantinga, he treats exclusivism as a theory about the relation between the religions, and then claims that it is superior to the pluralist theory. But he does not say what his exclusivist theory is. Second, he bases his claim of a fundamental self-contradiction in my pluralist position on a view which I disavow, namely that altruism is the core of religio…

  • Ineffability

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies2000

    Within each of the major world religions a distinction is drawn between the ultimate ineffable Godhead or Absolute and the immediate object of worship or focus of religious meditation. I examine the notion of ineffability, or transcategoriality, in the influential Christian mystic Pseudo-Dionysius, who reconciles the divine ineffability with the authority of the Bible by holding that the biblical language is metaphorical, its function being to dr…

  • The Possibility of Religious Pluralism: A Reply to Gavin d'Costa

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies1997

    In ‘The Impossibility of a Pluralist View of Religions’ (Religious Studies32, June 1996) Gavin D'Costa argues that ‘pluralism must always logically be a form of exclusivism and that nothing called pluralism really exists’ (225). He sees himself as doing a ‘conceptual spring cleaning exercise’ (225). However the result is to obscure clear and useful distinctions by confused and confusing ones. Some further spring cleaning is therefore called for.T…

  • Religious Pluralism and the Divine: A Response to Paul Eddy

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies1995

    In ‘Religious Pluralism and the Divine: Another Look at John Hick's Neo-Kantian Proposal’ [ Religious Studies , xxx, 1994) Paul Eddy argues against the ultimate ineffability of the Real, and claims that a neo-Kantian epistemology leads to a Feuerbachian non-realism. In response I stress ( a ) the impossibility of attributing to the Real the range of incompatible characteristics of its phenomenal (i.e. experienceable) manifestations, so that it mu…

  • The Logic of God Incarnate

    Open AccessJohn HickARTICLEReligious Studies1989

    The most important recent philosophical treatment of Ghristology is that of Thomas V. Morris in The Logic of God Incarnate , defending the high-orthodox position that ‘Jesus of Nazareth was one and the same person as God the Son, the Second Person of the divine Trinity’ (p. 13) against the charge that the characteristics of deity and humanity are non-compossible in one person at one time, so that it is a contradiction to attribute both sets of qu…
