- W2500202339 abstract "Abstract Both defenders and critics of religion assume that religious belief resembles other forms of propositional belief and can be assessed in the same manner. They may think of it as a belief based on arguments and assess the soundness of the arguments or they may think of it as a belief based on testimony and assess the reliability of the testimony. They may even think of it as a form of non-inferential, ‘basic’ belief, which resembles, for example, beliefs arising from sense perception. But this does not correspond to the conception of faith found in the work of St Thomas Aquinas, for whom religious faith is to be distinguished from all other forms of belief. Faith differs from scientific knowledge, since it is not based on any insight into the truth of the propositions believed. But it also differs from mere opinion, since it gives rise to a degree of confidence that human reason can never attain. The basis of this confidence is not any evidence or arguments, but an act of the will, a decision to submit oneself to the authority of God. If something like Aquinas’s view is widespread among believers, then much philosophical discussion of religious faith is simply misplaced. It bears little relation to the grounds on which people actually believe." @default.
