Michael Bergmann

Michael Bergmann is a philosopher known for his work in religious epistemology, which explores how we can know and justify our beliefs about religion. He argues that believing in God can be rational, even in the absence of definitive proof. Bergmann emphasizes the importance of personal experiences, such as transformative moments or feelings of divine presence, as a valid basis for religious belief. He also discusses the role of community and tradition in shaping our understanding of faith, suggesting that these factors can provide a supportive framework for believing in God and affirming religious truths.
