Description: What is faith? In what ways might faith be a virtue, a
component of a life well lived? How might faith be corrupted and
become a vice? In Why Faith Is a Virtue, Philip D. Smith builds on
the work of Alasdair MacIntyre and Robert Adams to argue that faith
contributes to human excellence. To make the argument, Smith sorts
through conflicting possible "faiths" and shows how some of them
are not virtues at all. Nevertheless, he argues that faith,
properly understood, contributes to crucial human practices:
scientific research, social reform, and parenting. He explains how
and why faith is a virtue.
