Abstract

Along with the modern age, "conflict between religions" has been introduced as a philosophical problem for which various solutions have been provided in accord to different views of thinkers. The present writing goes to criticize one of such solutions posed by the contemporary English philosopher, John Hick. While avoiding repetitions, the present article will describe the main reasons behind inefficiency of this solution, and criticizes it from epistemological, empirical, philosophical, and theological viewpoints. The present article will show that to confront various cultures, their main principles cannot be ignored and, if ingnored, which challenges we will have to face.
