“The realization that there are many religions is far from banal. The recognition of religious alterity is an event that mobilized Western thinking about the "Other" to question the automatic responses that were previously given in the form of accusations of apostasy, heresy or schism. The "discovery" of the multiplicity of religions can be seen as analogous to the Cantorian revolution: we discovered a plurality of infinities that proved to be irreducible to one. This in such a way that the event would have the consequence of splitting the very meaning of "religion", forcing us not only to re-elaborate all previous understandings of it, but to constitute another way in which this very understanding is established, that is, to be faithful to its consequences.”
