Beskrivning
In this book, Roberto Di Ceglie offers an historical, theological, and epistemological investigation exploring how commitments to God and/or the good generate the optimum condition to achieve knowledge. Di Ceglie criticizes the common belief that to attain knowledge, one must always be ready to replace one's convictions with beliefs that appear to be proven. He defends a more comprehensive view, historically exemplified by outstanding Christian thinkers, whereby believers are expected to commit themselves to God and to related beliefs no matter how convincing the evidence contradicting such beliefs appears to be. He also argues that both believers and unbelievers can commit themselves to God and the good, respectively, thereby creating a spiritual turn in epistemology that enables them to generate the best possible condition for conducting rational enquiries and discussion.

Recensioner i media

'In this fine study, Professor Di Ceglie offers a robust defence of a position that challenges some key modernist assumptions. His central claim is that our moral and spiritual commitments should dispose us to maintain the core beliefs that sustain these, even when faced by apparently strong counter-evidence. By applying insights from Aquinas to contemporary debates, he has provided us with an informed and measured treatment of the subject.' David Fergusson, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge
