达尔文,一个不可知论者

达尔文的自然选择理论,不仅摧毁了作为造物主的上帝,同时也摧毁了作为救世主的上帝。但终其一生,达尔文在宗教信仰上却是一个不可知论者。     

The nature of faith

Summary This paper examines the psychological conditions that bring the experience of faith into being, and the psychological components the word faith refers to and except for which faith would not be experienced. The problem of maintaining faith without recourse to supernaturalism is discussed in terms of man's social relations and value satisfactions.Reprinted by permission from the Journal of Individual Psychology, May, 1957.     

信仰的根基

我们信仰的根基,它不是建立在教会、属灵的伟人抑或善功之上,而是耶稣基督这真正的磐石上,我们属灵的工程必须建立在这磐石上才真正坚固。

The strength of faith and trust

While there has been considerable interest in the nature of faith and trust in recent philosophical literature, relatively little has been said about what it is for faith or trust to be psychologically stronger or weaker. Drawing on recent accounts of propositional faith by Daniel Howard-Snyder and Lara Buchak, I argue that the strength of one’s faith can vary in two distinct dimensions. The first primarily involves the extent to which one’s confidence motivates one to take risks (and secondarily involves other cognitive and emotional factors). The second involves the resilience of the first dimension of strength to possible counterevidence.
