Faith and humility / Jonathan L. Kvanvig.

By: Material type: TextTextNew York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2018Description: viii, 219 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780198809487 (hardback)
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • BJ 1533 .K971 2018
Summary: This book is devoted to articulating the connections between the nature and value of faith and humility. The goal is to understand faith and humility in a way that does not discriminate between religious and mundane contexts, between sacred and secular. It arises from a conviction that these two character traits are important to a flourishing life, and intimately related to each other in such a way that the presence of one demands the presence of the other. In particular, the book defends the claim that each of these virtues provides a necessary, compensating balance to the potential downside of the other virtue. The result of such an inquiry, if that inquiry is successful, will require a re-orienting of discussions surrounding faith, including debates about the relationship between faith and reason. --Amazon.co.uk
