If someone actually met that definition, he would clearly be unable to understand any kind of god-talk, since his beliefs would in no way connect with the presuppositions of that talk, nor could he adapt to those assumptions without a core change, essentially ceasing to fit the definition. This is a philosophic point, after all, so probably not very interesting, but at least it is trivially true (well, there are other epistemologies, though they are even less less plausible than the one behind this). |
