AbstractDo religious forms of life and religious statements refer to a reality distinct from the religious language game? Or is it the case that such reference is only an illusive expression of the self-understanding of religious believers – and thus something philosophical reflection should aim to dispel?
ObjectiveAnd how are the ontological commitments of religious language games related to perceptions and concepts of reality operative in the sciences? The Advanced Course in Philosophy of Religion will take the thinking of Hilary Putnam as an example to address these questions. In order to do so, Putnam’s philosophy of religion will be situated in its (post)analytic and pragmatic context.
