Descrizione

The aim of this essay is to defend the unitary rationality thesis. Inasmuch as the latter satisfies the requirements of both scientific rationality and broader theoretical rationality, it can also be the basis of the epistemic legitimation of rational forms of faith. The essay is divided into three parts. In the first, I endorse the thesis of the demarcation between scientific and non-scientific knowledge. This thesis, however, does not allow us to restrict knowledge to empirical knowledge. It is possible – or even necessary – to know something about the world without resorting to empirical confirmation. This second thesis is put forward in the second part. In the third part I try to show how a reason that reflects on itself – and therefore recognizes its strength, but also its limits – can be a space of openness towards a justified rational faith. In the development of the whole essay the function of Bayes theorem is central.
