Resumen
CASTANEDA VARGAS, Fredy Humberto. IN SEARCH OF EVIDENCE FOR THE RATIONALITY OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. Univ. philos. [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.66, pp.129-150. ISSN 0120-5323. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph33-66.berc.
This article inquires whether or not religious beliefs are rational, that is to say, whether or not they can be rationally sustained. The point of the article is not to prove the existence of God, but rather simply to show whether or not religious language has real meaning. To do this, we shall examine the concept of belief in general. Then we shall look at religious beliefs in particular from two opposing points of view: on the one hand, from the position of authors who claim that religious beliefs can in fact be sustained by rational evidence, and on the other hand, from the perspective of other authors who affirm that these beliefs cannot be rationally justified, because spiritual discourse refers to the ineffable, which deprives it of the means to verify or deny its propositions.
