Routledge Faith after Foundationalism - Philosophy of Religion

Explore the deep philosophical debate surrounding religious belief in Faith after Foundationalism. This Routledge Library Edition examines the core conflict between foundationalism and alternative approaches to faith. Foundationalism suggests that certain propositions require supporting evidence, while others serve as the evidence themselves. This text analyzes how these views impact the placement of belief in God. Originally published in 1988, this work provides a detailed look at the tension between foundationalism and other methodologies, including Reformed Epistemology, hermeneutics, and sociological analysis. It serves as a significant resource for those studying the philosophy of religion and the structures of human knowledge. The final section offers a unique perspective by using an examination of concept formation in religious belief to reinterpret the gap between expression and understanding. This book is a valuable addition to any collection focused on theology and the philosophical study of religion.
