HINGES, THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF RELIGION AND THE PROBLEM OF RELIGIOUS DISAGREEMENT

Resumen

In this paper, I propose and defend an account of the nature and the epistemology of religious beliefs loosely inspired by Wittgenstein´s remarks on the structure of reason and on the nature of religious beliefs. I argue that following and developing his account we can not only make a strong case for the prima facie rationality of religious beliefs but also, and more importantly, cast new light on the epistemology of religious disagreement.

Keywords: Wittgenstein. Hinges. Epistemic warrant. Religious disagreement.
