Abstract

A new pluralism wants to have formidability and in what sense and on what foundations should be? These questions might be posited due to the decline of religious beliefs and sacraments, the realization of subjectivity and on the other hand, the increasing process of new spirituality and the prosperity of individual interpretations of spirituality in West. According to author's view, pluralism which is used as "spiritual pluralism" is an insight into the truthiness of a variety of spiritual readings that people have achieved through their own inner experiences and consider as a spiritual truth. There are two assumptions in the context of this theory. First, the spiritual reality is individual that needs no outside and organizational justification. Second, to achieve such fact, we must suspend all preceding beliefs and try to acquire the exclusive action by introspection and self-knowledge about outer lives. Spiritual pluralism, based on Krishnamurti's view, on these two assumptions and attending to new spiritual conditions reflects two facts: First, it confirms any personal claim about spiritual truth because the truth of the spirituality appears through individuality of the person. Second, it grows different spiritual readings because it is the necessity of adopting such an approach.
