Rationality and Faith, Faith and Rationality in The Peasant Worldview

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the third agent of cognition, the question of existential (and/or religious/spiritual) cognition. Purely historical or philological methods are not sufficient to understand people's religious worldview. In the researcher's experience, different types of knowledge apply to different areas of life. In popular religiosity, rational, empirical, and religious knowledge are not in opposition to each other. Cognition by faith does not mean the elimination of mind, but the expansion of the means of knowledge, and the endless possibilities of acquiring knowledge. The complexity of this phenomenon is illustrated by the ethnographic analyses, examples and data.
