Philosophical hermeneutics provides a model of interreligious
dialogue that acknowledges the interpretive variability of truth
claims while maintaining their relation to a preinterpretive
reality. The dialectic and tensive structure of philosophical
hermeneutics directly parallels the tension between the diversity
of belief and the ultimacy of the sacred. By placing philosophers
like Gadamer, Ricoeur, Peirce, and Whitehead in conversation, J. R.
Hustwit describes religious truth claims as coconstituted by the
planes of linguistic convention and uninterpreted otherness. Only
when we recognize that religious claims emerge from a dalliance
back and forth across the limits of the understanding can we
appreciate the engagement between religions. In terms of dialogue,
this approach treats religious truth claims as tentative
hypotheses, but hypotheses that are frequently commensurable and
rationally contestable. Interreligious dialogue goes beyond
facilitating bonhomie or negotiating tolerance; dialogue can and
should be a disciplined space for rationally adjudicating claims
about what lies beyond the limits of human understanding.
