Continental philosophy today refers to the philosophical movements of phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, postmodernism and feminism. Uncertainty is the basic principle in postmodern thought, with the title of continental philosophy of religion, and relativism, historicity of meaning, and construction of meaning are known as its philosophical reflections. The confrontation of religious knowledge with these reflections has had consequences on knowledge in various forms. Based on this, the statement of the place of postmodern thought in the continental philosophy of religion and the dialogue of postmodernism with religious knowledge, the challenges and consequences arising from this dialogue and finally, the role of Shia in this period, constitute the main topic of this article.
