Synthetic Judgment
When religious truth turns into a formula of monopoly, it is no longer defined by faith but by the production of mutual rejection among religions.
What Emerges from the Conjunction of the Atoms
The atoms show that the declaration of a single truth does not remain within the doctrinal interior; rather, it extends its effect to the relations among communities. Thus The true religion produces mutual rejection turns truth into a boundary line rather than an open horizon. With Mutual domination shapes the image of the other, it becomes clear that this boundary does not merely produce difference; it fabricates mutual representations of the other through the position of control and negation. Then Translating religious texts changes them adds another dimension: meaning itself is not transmitted without transformation; hence the tension is not confined to doctrine but extends to the linguistic and cultural medium. In this way, rejection is formed as a composite effect of monopolized truth, domination, and translation.
Logic of the Synthesis
| Atom | Its role in the synthesis | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| The true religion produces mutual rejection | Establishes the central result | Links truth to exclusion |
| Mutual domination shapes the image of the other | Explains the formation of the other | Shows that the image is the product of a power relation |
| Translating religious texts changes them | Expands the field of action | Links rejection to the transformation of meaning through transfer |

- The true religion produces mutual rejection

Limits of the Inference
The synthesis links religious monopoly to its relational effects, but it does not reduce every religious difference to rejection alone.
