Abstract

John Hick is renowned celebrated for his endeavors to explain religious plurality and diversity. Up front, He strives to set forth an explanatory hypothesis that can portray the best explanation of this pluralism in the real world, adopting miscellaneous philo-epistemological elements. Hick, although ontologically accepts the ultimate reality independent of mind and language (in a critical realism framework), does not maintain that realism has only ontological aspect but it also has epistemo-semantic dimensions. So there is a far long way for him to traverse.
