Question: 1 / 400

Who suggested the Principle of Credulity?

Albert Einstein

The correct answer is Richard Swinburne. He is known for articulating the Principle of Credulity, which suggests that if it seems to a person that something is the case, then, unless there are strong reasons to doubt it, that person is entitled to believe it. This principle plays a significant role in discussions about the nature of belief and the justification of religious experience.

While Albert Einstein made immense contributions to physics and our understanding of the universe, he did not specifically engage with the philosophical concepts related to belief in the way Swinburne did. Thus, his name is not associated with the Principle of Credulity.
