Faith Worth Having
View through CrossRef
This chapter articulates and defends a strategy focused on faith worth having, in contrast to alternative strategies that focus on meanings or truth conditions of key terms. One might think of such an approach as one that mixes metaphysics and value theory, thinking of the idea of fundamentality here in terms of axiological fundamentality. This approach puts axiology first, leaving open the possibility that a substantial portion of the logical space of the language of faith and the conceptualizations involved can be written off as uninteresting or unimportant.
