Abstract
"In a famous parable a number of blindfolded men entered a room where an elephant stood. Each touched some part of the giant and described what they felt: one a tree trunk, actually a leg, another a rope - the tail - and so on. The story has been used to show that God may be encountered and described in various ways, which all sound different yet actually involve a genuine and non-contradictory purchase on reality. It is the pluralists' parable, par excellence"
