11 Audi on Nondoxastic Faith

Abstract

Abstract This chapter argues that Audi's account of nondoxastic propositional faith is inadequate, and that the specifications given by Audi are either in tension with each other or insufficient to specify a distinct propositional attitude. It goes on to offer an account of an attitude what is called ‘acceptance’, whose voluntary character serves to distinguish it from belief. It then argues that acceptance can serve as the “cognitive core” of religious and non‐religious faith, and, more specifically, that acceptance without belief is adequate for Christianity. Thus, according to this chapter, acceptance can successfully play the role Audi wishes his nondoxastic faith to play.
