Comment peut-on croire a la transubstantiation? La certitude morale et ses fondements sociaux chez Jean Mair

Journal Title: Przegląd Tomistyczny - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue

Abstract

This essay provides an inquiry into John Mair’s use of the notion of moral certitude. Dealing with some classical cases linked to the real presence in the Eucharist, and the capacity of the faithful to know it, John Mair argues for a kind of skepticism. This skepticism is solved through the notion of moral certitude, borrowed from Buridan and Gerson. But John Mair goes further than these two thinkers by giving a more social interpretation of this kind of certitude
