The Thought of Muhammad Legenhausen
Before describing the thought of Legenhausen, I would like to review some points of thought both John Hick and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. According to Hick the religious plurality is human response to the Divine presence. By perennial philosophy, Nasr said that the diversity of religions appears as expressions of the one of Ultimate Reality. No matter each religion is different exoterically, but in esoteric dimension all religion is same in the way they concern to one Truth. Nasr based his argumentation on the essence of human existence in Qur’an. Humanity was created from a single soul (Qur’an: 39:6) but differentiate into different races and tribes. Briefly, the problem of religious plurality for Hick is first and foremost soteriological and moral, and subsequently epistemological and metaphysical, while for Nasr religious plurality is primarily a metaphysical or (more specifically) a theosophical problem, although he does not ignore its epistemological and moral dimension.
