Testimony, belief, and non-doxastic faith: the Humean argument for religious fictionalism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2015
Abstract
I set out an argument for religious fictionalism which, unusually, proceeds from realist assumptions to the conclusion that even though some people might know that God exists, others ought to accept only non-doxastically that God exists. The argument relies upon the idea that religious experiences can confer immediate warrant on religious beliefs, whereas the warrant conferred by testimony is defeated by some reasonable beliefs which many people have.
