"Pragmatic Encroachment, Religious Belief and Practice" engages
several recent and important discussions in the mainstream
epistemological literature surrounding 'pragmatic encroachment'. It
has been argued that what is at stake for a person in regards to
acting as if a proposition is true can raise the levels of
epistemic support required to know that proposition. Do the high
stakes involved in accepting or rejecting religious beliefs raise
the standards for knowledge that 'God exists', 'Jesus rose from the
dead' and other propositions? Professor Rizzieri also examines
whether or not knowledge and justification norms of belief and
action undermine the pragmatic grounds for religious belief
suggested by William James. Rizzieri argues that such norms favor
an attitude of hope, as opposed to belief, under conditions of
uncertainty. Finally, Rizzieri argues the connections between
knowledge and rational action undermine radically externalist
accounts of religious knowledge and proposes an alternative account
of the justification of religious beliefs.
