Description:
Can we ever achieve belief by a direct act of will? If it will help us to be happier, should we make ourselves believe propositions which the evidence alone does not warrant? These are the sort of questions which Professor Pojman examines in Religious Belief and the Will (originally published in 1986).
Review Quotes:
Review of the first publication:
"In this first-rate study, Pojman has many interesting things to say about volitionalism, the ethics of belief, Plantinga's foundationalism, the role of reason in religious belief, the logic of non-rule bound intuitive judgements, etc."
-- John Donnelly, University of San Diego
