Brian Leiter Responds on Rudenstine

Brian has responded to my last post with the following comment:

I would have thought that Rudenstine was marking exactly this kind ofdistinction by calling attention to the kind of "faith" that sets itself in opposition to evidence, for example, from the sciences. I did notread his remarks as a blanket condemnation of everything that travelsunder the heading of "faith."

Perhaps Rudenstine got carried away with his own rhetoric -- I don't read him the way Brian does. But it is reassuring to see that Brian himself would make the kind of distinction about "faith" suggested in my original post. Thanks to Brian for his quick response!
