Recent Attack

After arguing that infallibilism faces serious problems, this chapter turns to consider objections levelled at fallibilism. Chapters 5 and 6 consider the objection that fallibilism undermines closure for knowledge. In reply, it’s been argued that closure fails for reasons quite independently of the fallibilism–infallibilism debate, specifically because of defeat. If that’s right, then closure provides no reason to prefer infallibilism over fallibilism. However, the very idea of defeat has come under recent attack. This and the next chapter provide an extended defence of a variety of kinds of defeat. This chapter provides a positive argument for rebutting and undermining defeat. It also examines and rejects some recent objections to rebutting defeat, including Lasonen-Aarnio’s objection that rebutting defeat fails to answer the dogmatism puzzle.

Recent Attack

Jung was aware that any new experience of the sacred would not be welcomed as sacred by religious tradition or intellectual high culture. In fact, new experiences of the sacred are often rejected by religions, and regarded with utmost scepticism by critical traditions. I suggest that a grassroots spirituality movement is to be viewed in this context today. I distinguish this movement from the New Age movement with which it is often conflated and confused. I argue that the grassroots movement is an expression of the holistic directions of the collective psyche. Finally, I explore the Vatican's recent attack on Jungian psychology as an example of a senex tradition that seeks to destroy creativity, and suggest that Jung's theory of the religious function of the psyche is being deliberately misread by a besieged and failing tradition.
