Abstract

The article consists of two parts. Part one presents various philosophical and theological standpoints concerning the case of plurality of religions. Part two concerns the possibility of philosophical appraisal of various religions. The philosophical background makes it possible to say that each religion has its subjective reasons in the ontic structure of human being. Philosophical solutions can be useful for discussions concerning the object of religion, the doctrinal truth, coherence and consistency and also credibility of revelation.
