Title: Religious Diversity and Social Responsibility (2001)
Abstract: Abstract This paper explores what Zagzebski calls the second-person approach to rationality as it applies to the diversity of religious beliefs. The proposal is that rationality gives us social responsibilities, and that leads to some principles governing discourse across religious cultures. One is the Culture-Sensitivity principle: Persons should treat the members of other cultures and religions as though they are prima facie as rational as themselves. A second is the Rational Recognition principle: If a belief is rational, its rationality can be recognized, in principle, by rational persons in other cultures engaged in sympathetic contact with each other.
