In a recent exchange of essays with Kai Nielsen, Hendrik Hart has elaborated an account of the nature and meaning of religious belief that, he believes, is post-modern (specifically, Rortyan) in inspiration and anti-foundationalist in character. In this paper, I reconstruct and discuss what I take to Hart’s central claims. While Harts does remind us of some important aspects of the nature of religious belief − aspects often overlooked by many critics − I suggest that there are several problems in the account he provides and that it is not clear that he ultimately avoids adopting a variant of the foundationalism he explicitly rejects.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/filozofiaphilosophyfilozofia religiiphilosophy of religionreligiareligionepistemologiaepistemologyteoria poznaniatheory of knowledgepoznaniecognitionpostmodernizmpostmodernismracjonalnośćrationalityracjonalność przekonań religijnychrationality of religious beliefsRichard RortyHendrik HartKai NielsenEpistemologie postmodernistyczne a racjonalność przekonań religijnychPostmodern Epistemologies and the Rationality of Religious BeliefArticle
