Read “James.pdf” and “Pascal & Clifford.pdf” to get some insights about their philosophy and PLEASE reference a few points in these files in the essay as the essay needs to show I “have done the reading and understand their positions”.
Read “SWA2-Notes.docx” and PowerPoints slides (contain useful summaries of “pdf” files) to get some insights that I learn about these 3 figures in my class
Write a 2-page complete (introduction, body, conclusion) essay, please clarify whether you most closely situate yourself with strong rationalists, fideists, or critical rationalists in addressing whether religious faith is rational or not. In your discussion you should explain why you like one over the other figures we’ve discussed:
– Pascal (fideist)
– Clifford (strong rationalist)
– James (critical rationalist)
It is always helpful to point out the weaknesses of those you disagree with to make your position more emphatic.
You have to defend your position(which figure you agree with the most) in each paragraph in the body.
If you like Pascal, please refer the “The Wager” in the essay
If you like Clifford, please refer his example of “shipowner” and “island inhabitants” in the essay
If you like James, please refer the “Will to believe” in the essay
