The Epistemology of Religious Experience

Autor Keith E. Yandell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 1994
This book addresses fundamental questions in the philosophy of religion. Can religious experience provide evidence for religious belief? If so, how? Keith Yandell argues against the notion that religious experience is ineffable, while advocating the view that strong numinous experience provides some evidence that God exists. He contends that social science and other non-religious explanations of religious belief and experience do not cancel out the evidential force of religious experience. The core of Yandell's argument concerns the formulation and application of an appropriate principle of experimental evidence. A final chapter considers the relevance of nonexperimental, conceptual issues. An attractive feature of the book is that it does not confine its attention to any one religious cultural tradition, but tracks the nature of religious experience across different traditions in both the East and the West.

Recenzii

'Yandell's main premise is that religious beliefs and doctrines are not exempt from critical examination by analytical philosopher; rather, they should receive the same degree of critical examination which secular beliefs and doctrines attract. The intricate thread of his argument testifies to the validity of this core premise … deserves to be read by anyone interested in the analysis of religious experience.' Victoria S. Harrison, Heythrop Journal
