Fe, Metafilosofía, Religión, EscepticismoResumen
Una opinión extremadamente popular entre las personas sin fe es que las personas de fe no son oponentes filosóficos legítimos. Al fin y al cabo, alguien sería así si y solo si respetase la condición fuerte: evitando apelar a las emociones y a las Escrituras, suspendiendo el juicio o buscando convencer a los demás sin utilizar proposiciones de fe y respetando los parámetros epistémicos pirronianos. El artículo problematiza esta condición; Defiende una condición débil según la cual alguien es un oponente filosófico legítimo si y solo si esa persona reconoce sus dificultades para distinguir emociones y razones al tomar una proposición como verdadera, es consciente de algunas de sus proposiciones de fe y reconoce sus límites argumentativos. Al criticar la condición fuerte y defender la débil, el artículo aborda dos personajes filosóficos: el infiel Descartes que defiende, pero no respeta la condición fuerte; y Descartes con Fe, que ilustra a una persona de fe que satisface la condición débil. Este no es un artículo exegético sobre Descartes. Por lo tanto, aunque se basan en sus obras, los personajes antes mencionados no son exactamente idénticos a la propia perspectiva de Descartes.
