About the video:
Faith is an important concept in both the realm of religious belief as well as the philosophy of religion. What is the relationship between faith and reason? Credence and acceptance? Belief and action? All of these questions are influenced by one's conception of faith in philosophy. We are privileged to discuss these questions and themes with Dr. Liz Jackson, one of the most prominent philosophers in this field, as well as touching upon the role which Pascal's Wager has on faith.
