Nicholas of Cusa’s De pace fidei and the meta-exclusivism of religious pluralism
International Journal for Philosophy of Religion 74 (2):219-235 (2013)
Abstract
In response to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Nicholas of Cusa wrote De pace fidei defending a commitment to religious tolerance on the basis of the notion that all diverse rites are but manifestations of one true religion. Drawing on a discussion of why Nicholas of Cusa is unable to square the two objectives of arguing for pluralistic tolerance and explaining the contents of the one true faith, we outline why theological pluralism is compromised by its own meta-exclusivismAuthor Profiles
