Abstract

Since the Enlightenment, the appearance of epistemological attitudes like empiricism, scientism, positivism and so on, fortified the epistemology which makes rational support of rilgious thought more difficult. In the twentieth century, specially in the second half, the diverse versions of new epistemology appeared which despite of their diffenent bases, focus on one point: positivistic concept of epistemology which claim certainty, objectivity and one truth can not be more dirensible. In this article, I will try to show what are these versions of contemporary post – positivistic epistemology, and how it could open the new space for the religious thought which is not more necessarily irrational.
