Abstract

In this article, the author explores the possibility of a concept-centered approach based on an epistemological common ground for religious judgements about mutually held values of humanity. He proposes that to achieve a concept-centered understanding within an inter-religious framework, the emphasis of logical analysis will be placed on the relations between certain concepts, epistemology, truth-values, and religion.
