ABSTRACT

Phil Quinn was gentle, and was of powerful, creative intellect. On the present topic, our views differ. I wish we could discuss them in the mutually respectful way he practised and elicited. He proposed responding to religious pluralism by combining John Hick’s views with those of William P. Alston – Hickian Religious Pluralism joined minds with Alstonian Doxastic Practice Epistemology. He claimed for the amalgam, not truth, but rationality of acceptance. We have three topics: Hick’s Pluralism and Quinn’s revision; Alston’s doxasticism with Quinn’s adjustment; the notion of epistemic humility as informed by the Quinnean amalgam.
