ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses the first set of replies from Koji Suga, Sanford Drob and Lisa Isherwood, with a principal focus on their replies to the Position Statement. Suga does think that answers to the questions that he poses will help him in figuring out whether Shinto is a religion worthy of consideration from a philosophical perspective. Drob's response to the Position Statement begins with a misunderstanding of the view regarding arguments aiming to show that Islamic belief is rationally compelling. Drob seems to think that, in the case of religious experiences, there are special considerations for doubting what subjects report. Isherwood's reply to the Position Statement consists mostly of further thoughts on feminist (Christian) theology. She begins by noting that two strands that feature in the Position Statement – religious texts and arguments for the existence of God – have undergone change in the hands of feminist theology.
