The Metaphysics of Paradox
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-4985-6392-5 (ISBN)
This book is an exploration into the paradoxical structure of pluralistic thinking as illuminated by both Western and Eastern insights—especially Jainism. By calling into question the most fundamental assumptions of religious pluralists, the author hopes to contribute to a paradigm shift in discourse on religious pluralism and conflicting truth claims.
Wm. Andrew Schwartz is executive director of the Center for Process Studies, cofounder and executive vice president of EcoCiv, and adjunct professor of philosophy and theology at Claremont School of Theology.
