Reason, Faith, and Some Spaces in Between
Abstract
Argues that the distinction between fideism (faith-centered theories of religious epistemology) and rationalism (reason-centered theories) needs nuancing, because there are numerous avenues that lead to hybrid views. Surprisingly, some arguments of medieval rationalists yield hybrids. The chapter refers to recent trends in the analysis of faith.
