Abstract

Jonathan Kvanvig has proposed a non-cognitive theory of faith. He argues that the model of faith as essentially involving assent to propositions is of no value. In response, I propose a Thomistic cognitive theory of faith that both avoids Kvanvig’s criticism and presents a richer and more inclusive account of how faith is intrinsically valuable. I show these accounts of faith diverge in what they take as the goal of the Christian life: personal relationship with God or an external state of affairs. For this reason, more seriously, the non-cognitivist project likely requires rejecting traditional Christianity and its picture of salvation.
信心对救恩的价值是什么?对Kvanvig的托马斯式回应
乔纳森·克万维格提出了一种非认知的信仰理论。他认为,信仰模式本质上涉及对命题的同意,没有任何价值。作为回应,我提出了一种托米斯主义的信仰认知理论,既避免了克万维格的批评,又对信仰如何具有内在价值提出了更丰富、更包容的解释。我展示了这些关于信仰的描述在他们认为基督徒生活的目标上存在分歧:与上帝的个人关系或外部状况。出于这个原因,更严重的是,非认知主义项目可能需要拒绝传统基督教及其救赎图景。
