Faith and hope in situations of epistemic uncertainty
When it comes to religion, lack of conclusive evidence leads many reflective thinkers to embrace agnosticism.

| Итог: | When it comes to religion, lack of conclusive evidence leads many reflective thinkers to embrace agnosticism. However, pure agnosticism does not necessarily have to be the final word; there are other attitudes one might reasonably adopt in a situation of epistemic uncertainty. This article concentrates on J. L. Schellenberg's proposal that non-doxastic propositional faith is available even when belief is unwarranted. Schellenberg's view is rejected since his envisaged notion of faith conflicts with important epistemic aims. Instead, it is suggested that a combination of hope and 'occasional' faith constitutes a substantive religious pro-attitude rationally available in situations of epistemic uncertainty. |
