摘要

英國宗教哲學家約翰．希克的宗教多元論認為，世界諸宗教所崇拜的不同神聖者，乃是同一個超越的終極實在對諸宗教信徒的宗教實踐的回應。但筆者認為，希克多元論的核心－實在，是人從自己的認知有限性出發的、試圖對由這種有限性產生的歷史表像進行超越的概念之物，因其外在於信仰而不能成為宗教對話的神性基礎。據此，筆者試圖通過以解構實在概念進入對共通神性的建構，達到從「逝曰遠」的超越性幻相到「遠曰反」的超越性回向的轉變，並由此發現宗教多元論和對話的新可能性。

The religious pluralism of John Hick thought that the different sacred being worshiped by world religions were actually the responses to different believers given by one single transcendental ultimate reality. However, the thesis thinks that the transcendental ultimate reality, the core of Hick's pluralism, is but a made-up concept generated from cognitive limitation of human races. It transcends the historical representations of sacred being in order to become the common ground of conversation, nevertheless, in doing so, it also fails the task for it is insulated from living faith. Then, by the deconstruction of the concept of reality, the thesis will try to reconstruct the ground of common sacredness, achieving the conversion from the transcendental illusion to the transcendental turn, which could be the basis for the new possibility of religious pluralism and conversation.
