(2010) Dialogues in the philosophy of religion, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In "The Impossibility of a Pluralist View of Religions' (Religious Studies 32, June 1996) Gavin D"Costa1 argues that "pluralism must always logically be a form of exclusivism and that nothing called pluralism really exists' (p. 225). He sees himself as doing a "conceptual spring cleaning exercise" (p. 225). However, the result is to obscure clear and useful distinctions by confused and confusing ones. Some further spring cleaning is therefore called for.
