Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes、Chapter 7の要約
65のChapter 7 · Part 1: Of Man · chapterは5分で読めます
In Chapter 7, the argument distinguishes judgment, opinion, conditional science, and faith by examining how reasoning begins and ends. It then explains that accepting testimony because of a speaker’s authority places trust in that speaker, including the Church or a prophet when religious claims reach us through them.
