Belief without proof. St. Paul defines it as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen…” There is a minor tradition, exemplified by Hamaan, whichconsiders belief in anything which exceeds the strict limits of Humean skepticism to be “faith” in action; thus, he says, to “eat an egg or walk across a room” requires “faith.” Kierkegaard later distinguishes between this purely epistemic kind of belief and faith “in the eminent sense” or religious faith.
