| Description | The article is part of the debate, which deals with the problem of epistemic justification, the question of whether the faith is reliable method of knowledge. The author argues in favor of the claim that the principle of credulity, that things are likely to be as they seem, is too weak, and that we need to support by evidence all our beliefs, no matter what those beliefs relate. |
