Faith and Humility Zusammenfassung

Faith and Humility Jonathan L. Kvanvig (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University, St Louis)

Faith and Humility is devoted to articulating the connections between the nature and value of faith and humility. The goal is to understand faith and humility in a way that does not discriminate between religious and mundane contexts, between sacred and secular. It arises from a conviction that these two character traits are important to a flourishing life, and intimately related to each other in such a way that the presence of one demands the presence of the other. In particular, the book defends the claim that each of these virtues provides a necessary, compensating balance to the potential downside of the other virtue. The result of such an inquiry, if that inquiry is successful, will require a re-orienting of discussions surrounding faith, including debates about the relationship between faith and reason.

Faith and Humility Bewertungen

An important set of contributions to an increasingly lively family of philosophical discussions . . . There is a great deal to learn from this book, about intellectual and moral virtue, about the role of faith and humility in a well-lived life, about the shortcomings of much Christian theology and practice with respect to these traits, and especially - and somewhat surprisingly - about philosophical methodology. . . It is rich with epistemology, philosophy of language, virtue theory, and even hermeneutics. An important set of contributions to an increasingly lively family of philosophical discussions . . . * Daniel Speak, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
It is excellent and a must-read for anyone working in philosophical theology . . . Whenever Kvanvig writes something, it is worth paying attention; this is because whatever he has to say will be argued carefully. * Jonathan C. Rutledge, Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies *
