It is sometimes claimed that faith is a virtue. To what extent faith is a virtue depends on what faith is. One construal of faith, which has been popular in both recent and historical work on faith, is that faith is a matter of taking oneself to have been spoken to by God and of trusting this purported divine testimony. In this article, I argue that when faith is understood in this way, for faith to be virtuous then it must be accompanied by intellectual humility. I defend this view by showing how someone ought to respond to purported divine testimony if her faith is to be intellectually humble, and how, if it fails in this respect, it will instead be accompanied by the vices of either servility or arrogance.

见证、信心和谦卑

有时有人声称信仰是一种美德。信仰在多大程度上是一种美德,取决于信仰是什么。在近期和历史上关于信仰的著作中流行的一种信仰解释是,信仰是一种让自己被上帝说话并相信这个所谓的神圣见证的问题。在这篇文章中,我认为,当以这种方式理解信仰时,信仰要成为美德,就必须伴随着理智上的谦逊。我为这个观点辩护,说明如果一个人的信仰要在理智上谦虚,那么她应该如何回应所谓的神圣见证,以及如果在这方面失败,它将如何伴随着奴性或傲慢的恶习。
