1. In the section on the "Ethics of Belief", Pojman describes a doctor who fails to fulfill his moral obligations. What moral obligations does Pojman think the doctor had in this case--obligations he failed to fulfill?
2. Why does Pojman tell us a story about a doctor who makes a mistake in an essay about the rationality of religious belief? That is, what's the religious point that Pojman is trying to get us to see with this story?
3. Define "perspectivism" about rationality.
4. Why does Pojman think perspectivism is a better theory of rationality than nonperspectivism?
5. What is the difference between hard perspectivism and soft perspectivism?
6. Some religious believers say that being rational about religious faith really requires a person to give up on religious faith--faith should be total commitment, without asking any questions or wondering whether the faith is true, because as soon as one starts asking questions, one has to stand outside of the faith commitment and try to be neutral, and this business of being neutral, as required by rationality, is incompatible with faith. Pojman does not agree with this view. How does he respond?
