Reminder: Bonjour’s Indispensibility Argument for Rationalism

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Gábor Forrai (University of Miskolc) on Bonjour’s Indispensability Argument for Rationalism Tuesday,18 November, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In his In Defense of Pure Reason (CUP, 1998) Laurence Bonjour has argued that we have an ability to intuitively grasp necessary truths, which he calls rational insight, and that appealing to this ability counts as genuine epistemic justification just as appealing to experience does. Were we not in possession of such an ability, he argues, we could not justify anything which cannot be justified directly by experience. The reason is that all inferentially justified beliefs depend for their justification on the justification of inferences, and inferences - both deductive and inductive - cannot be justifed otherwise than by invoking rational insight. Hence, denial of rational insight deprives inferences and, therefore, all allegedly inferentially justified beliefs of their justification, and thus leads to a strong form of skepticism. In my paper I’ll argue that in this respect the rationalist is not better off than the empiricist.

Reminder "Kierkegaard and Hegel on Faith and Knowledge"

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Jon Stewart (University of Copenhagen) on Kierkegaard and Hegel on Faith and Knowledge NOTE!! 4.30 PM, Tuesday, 11 November, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT One of Kierkegaard’s main objections to Hegel’s philosophy is that it misunderstands the nature of religion by placing it on a par with various forms of scholarship and knowing. Through his pseudonymous authors, Kierkegaard stubbornly insists that faith is fundamentally different from knowledge. How would Hegel respond to Kierkegaard’s objection? I wish to argue that Hegel would find Kierkegaard’s conception of faith to be a pure formalism with no determinate content. For this reason, it cannot be properly designated as Christian faith since it has no content by which it can be distinguished from the faith of other religions.
