Abstract
This paper offers a new method for a new pluralism. The author offers an examination of
John Hick’s religious pluralism and George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s conceptual metaphor
theory (CMT). After detailing the amendments required for both Hick’s pluralism and Lakoff
and Johnson’s CMT the author offers an updated version of the former and an amended
version of the latter. In the final section a ‘hyper-pluralism’ is offered as well as a method
for the account of religious diversity through religious expression via living inter-personal
conceptual schemata (RELICS).
