Religious Experience Argument from the Viewpoint of Swinburne
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2013, Vol 45, Issue 90
Abstract
Religious experience argument is one of the most significant arguments in proving the existence of God in the West. Swinburne – the theistic philosopher – has presented a particular exposition of this argument based on the specific principles he calls “credibility principle” and “witness principle”, which have attracted the attention of the philosophers of religion. It is attempted in this research to explicate Swinburne’s exposition of this argument as well as explaining the above principles.
