Topic: Fides


  
 William of Ockham [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The act of belief depends on the fides infusa, and proceeds from the cooperation of this with the fides arquisita derived from instruction, Bible-reading, and intelligent meditation on various truths.
However, this is itself an article of faith which is learned only by authority, not "by reason, by experience, or by logic." So it comes back to the point that a man must accept the teachings of the Church because he wishes to belong to it.
The infidel can " attain all the knowledge, whether simple or complex, which the believer can have"; the difference is in the possession of faith.

This, then, is the faith which God demands of us; and He finds not what He may demand except where He has given what He may find.") This then is what is meant by "living" faith, or as theologians term it, fides formata, viz., "informed" by charity, or love of God.
-- The Fathers in general have never attempted any analysis of faith, and most patristic treatises De fide consist of expositions of the true doctrine to be held.
But the reader will have already noticed the precise teaching of ST. AUGUSTINE on the nature of faith.

 Lawrence Lessig
As a school administrator and curriculum specialist (thought I’d get the bona fides in there righ away) I think this is a wonderful idea.
What I imagine Wikimedia could contribute is a clearinghouse for these things with a consistent interface so art and science and primary and secondary educational resources are no longer at opposite corners of the web.
What the process lacks is a formal and easy means of facilitating the process.
