Description
Rationality and Religious Commitment by Robert Audi explores how faith can be rational and its place in the postmodern world. This book presents a unique attitude, conceived as an irreducible aspect of life, closely connected to belief, conduct, and moral, political, and aesthetic dimensions. The author examines rationality as a status attainable by mature religious individuals, including those with a scientific habit of mind. Part Two delves into the nature of faith, its connection to attitudes, emotions, and conduct, and how religious experience may support it. The book also discusses the integrated life possible for the religiously committed, where faith and reason interact. The conclusion presents two major accounts: one addressing moral wrongs and natural disasters under a God with knowledge, power, and goodness, and another exploring the nature of persons, human and divine, to sustain a rational theistic worldview in the contemporary scientific age.
