本研究回顾了当代宗教语言工作的一些主要主题。与其他最近的调查,宗教语言的最紧迫的问题是从语言哲学的角度来解决;宗教哲学家和神学家对这些问题采取的不同立场被认为是。涵盖的主题包括:宗教话语的主题,还原论和主观主义,表现主义,宗教隐喻的性质,宗教虚构主义和宗教话语中的真理。研究还着眼于宗教语言和宗教哲学的同源领域,如认识论和形而上学的问题之间的关系,以及潜在的未来研究方向。
This study reviews some of the principal themes in contemporary work on religious language. Unlike other recent surveys, the most pressing issues about religious language are addressed from the perspective of the philosophy of language; different positions taken on these issues by philosophers of religion and theologians are considered. Topics that are covered include: the subject matter of religious discourse, reductionism and subjectivism, expressivism, the nature of religious metaphor, religious fictionalism and truth in religious discourse. The study also looks at the relationship between questions about religious language and cognate areas of philosophy of religion such as epistemology and metaphysics, and potential future directions of research.
