Description
Summary:Can religious experience explain and substantiate the rationality of religious faith? This essay critically examines William Alston's answer to this question according to which it can be rational to suppose that mystical experience is epistemically reliable. It is argued that Alston's account fails, yet that it does shed light on some interesting and important conceptual connections between epistemic and practical kinds of rationality.
