Sommario/riassunto

Kierkegaardian Reflections of the Problem of Pluralism draws on Kierkegaard's existentialist understanding of faith in order to defend religious pluralism, which says that different religions provide different paths to the same truth. In addition to addressing several specific objections to this position, Fehir also engages in interreligious dialogue by comparing and contrasting Kierkegaard's Christian perspective with the religious views of Buddhists, Jews, and Taoists.
