or personally meaningful. That is the core thesis of this work in
pragmatist philosophy of religion. Other contemporary approaches are
deficient, as they have problematic ways of understanding truth and
experience. The argument in this study draws on Hilary Putnam's work in
such fields as ethics, epistemology, philosophy of language and
philosophy of mind. Influenced by Ludwig Wittgenstein, however, Putnam
doesn't fully acknowledge how religious statements, similar to other
statements, depend on an interaction of our language and the world. This
would make religious truth a matter of convention. Drawing on another
source of inspiration for Putnam, William James, Niek Brunsveld shows
how religious claims can have truth value. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |
