• W882436369 abstract "In ‘Moral Faith’, Robert Adams discusses some interesting phenomena regarding moral commitment. Adams thinks that often our moral commitment outstrips what we are epistemically entitled to believe; unlike Hume’s famous wise person, we do not proportion our belief to our evidence. For instance, Adams claims that ‘if I factor into my practical deliberations “a 10% chance that morality is a delusion” . . . then I have stepped outside the moral life’ (Adams 1995: 90–1). Adams seems to identify a genuine phenomenon: moral commitment seems to demand that we behave as if there were no room for general doubts about morality or even about some more specific moral claims. For Adams, moral commitment requires ‘faith’; namely, ‘believing something that a rational person might be seriously tempted to doubt, or even not to believe’ (Adams 1995: 75), or at least to believe or have a degree of confidence1 that is not ‘proportionate to the strength of the evidence or arguments supporting them’ (Adams 1995: 91). But is it correct that this phenomenon is best explained in terms of ‘faith’ as Adams understands it? I argue that it is not; rather, at least in some cases we should conclude that our moral knowledge is certain. The appearance that there can be no certainty here is the result of certain dubious views about second-order or indirect doubts. Nonetheless, discussing the phenomena that lead Adams to postulate moral faith brings to light the nature of the epistemic warrant that can justify various kinds of moral commitments. This suggests a different role for moral theory to play in relation to moral intuitions. Moral theory is often thought to justify (a subset of) our moral intuitions by systematizing them and showing how they flow from relatively few plausible principles. I argue instead that moral theory can play an essential role in explaining the nature of our epistemic warrant for certain" @default.
