Modern debates over correlation between ontology and epistemology: the religious studies context

Abstract

How do cognitive paradigms depend on the definition of the existential status of the objects being studied (and vice versa) and what is the specificity of this problem when it comes to the philosophical analysis of religion? Substantiation and relevance of the topic has general and local levels. The question of the relation of knowledge to reality implies the answer to another question: what reality we can know something, therefore the interaction of the theory of knowledge and ontology is one of the heuristic themes of contemporary philosophical discourse. On the territory of the philosophy of religion, which explores objects (and their reflections on them) with a specific ontological status and many cognitive projections, this topic has special cognitive derivatives.
