Specificatii
This volume grows out of an
international conference, entitled “Faith and Doubt” that was held
in 2015 at the Department of European Ethnology and Cultural
Anthropology of the University of Pécs, under the aegis of a
European Research Council grant. The main goal of the conference
was to approach the connections and disconnections of the
relationship of doubt and faith from a variety of disciplinary,
historical, and geographical perspectives. The authors belong to a
wide range of disciplines from historians of antiquity and the
early and high Middle Ages to scholars dealing with the early
modern era and anthropologists and folklorists studying the
contemporary period through field-based research. The participants
of the conference put the emphasis on the relationship of faith and
doubt and on doubt’s role in enhancing or undermining faith. We
asked what kinds of forms did doubt take, how the believer gained
or lost conviction, what happened when attitudes of belief and
non-belief/unbelief clashed in different historical periods and
finally to what degree could doubt be regarded an intrinsic part of
faith or to be a modern phenomenon. The theme of the relationship
of faith and doubt runs through the chapters uniting and dividing
the papers in exciting ways. The third term of the title of the
volume – knowledge – grows out of the papers as many of the authors
discuss faith and doubt in relation to knowledge. Both faith and
doubt can derive from knowledge or can be bolstered by it, lack of
knowledge can lead to doubt, while acquiring it can reinforce
faith. In several of the papers different knowledge systems are
seen to coexist or clash and their resolution does not necessarily
lead to the abandonment of belief altogether, rather it can lead to
the rise of new beliefs (and new doubts). The volume is divided
into three sections. Part I contains a single paper discussing how
ancient Greeks conceptualized faith and doubt, which at the time
did not constitute the inevitable pair that it became under
Christianity. Part II brings together cases from different time
periods and geographical areas from cultures that belong to the
circle of Abrahamic religions, more precisely, with a few
exceptions, to Christianity, while the papers of Part III examine
cases in which people employ explanatory frameworks that present
alternatives to Christianity ranging from táltos beliefs as they
can be traced in early modern witchcraft trials to “post-modern”
angel beliefs.
