Abstract
This study seeks to explain and critisise religious pluralism in philosophy of rligion of sayyed Hossain Nasr. Accordingly, we first analyze the relation of tradition, religion and perennial philosophy from the Nasr's view point and then make an explanation of the foundations of pluralism in his view. "Holding a unique sourse for all of the religions", "making distinction between external and internal aspect of universe and religion", "distinguishing absolute truth from relational one", "inward unity and outward plurality in the universe" and "similar elements in differen religions" are the foundations and reasons which are cited by Nasr for religious pluralism in his different works. After explanation of his theory, we tried to criticise his views.
