See also:PROBABILISM (from See also:Lat. probare, to test, approve) , a See also:term used both in See also:theology and in See also:philosophy with the See also:general implication that in the See also:absence of certainty See also:probability is the best criterion. Thus it is applied in connexion with See also:casuistry for the view that the layman in difficult matters of See also:conscience may safely follow a See also:doctrine inculcated by a recognized See also:doctor of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church. This view was originated by the See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)
- MONK (or MONCK), GEORGE
- MONK, JAMES HENRY (1784-1856)
- MONK, MARIA (c. 1817—1850)
monk See also:Molina (1528-1581), and has been widely employed by the See also:Jesuits. In philosophy the term is applied to that See also:practical doctrine which gives assistance in See also:ordinary matters to one who is sceptical in respect of the possibility of real knowledge: it supposes that though knowledge is impossible a See also:man may rely on strong beliefs in practical affairs. This view was held by the sceptics of the New See also:Academy (see See also:SCEPTICISM and See also:CARNEADES). Opposed to " probabilism" is " probabiliorism" (Lat. probabilioy, more likely), which holds that when there is a preponderance of See also:evidence on one See also:side of a controversy that side is presumably right.
