| Summary: | The paper discusses the importance of making distinctions for philosophy of religion. It argues that metaphysics is the philosophical attempt to draw out a system of distinctions that help us to make sense of our life in the world. Metaphysics is not a theoretical or speculative but a practical enter prise. Its task is not to offer ultimate explanations and 'explain the world' in terms of its fundamental structure, but provide comprehensive orientation by unfolding a practice of orientation such as everyday life or the life of faith or a religious practice. |
