dc.description.abstractThis essay shows how Soroush uses both Kantian and Reformed epistemologies in his work on religious pluralism while staying free of epistemological irresponsibility. Even though switching between epistemologies constitutes a tactical use of rhetoric to influence an audience which in some ways straddles the modern and the pre-modern lifeworlds, oscillating from Kantian epistemology which bases belief entitlement on scientific enquiry and Reformed epistemology which adds reflection, discourse and experience as legitimate ways of knowing to the scientific method, does not constitute an epistemological violation.en
