DESCRIPTION:<p>The thought would be that John Henry Newman gave us a way of thinking about doubt\, assent and inference in his essay in aid of a grammar of assent\, that has been lost sight of. In the contemprary philosophy of mind and epistemology philosophers have tended to think of faith and doubt as equal/opposite positions or states of mind situated on a sliding scale from unbelief through degrees of credence to fullly justified\, warranted\, true belief or knowledge. In Newman's way of thinking\, I will argue (following Antognazza 2024) that this way of thinking rests on a profound mistake\, which is exhibited by Alvin Plantinga's reconstruction of &nbsp\;Darwin's doubt as an instance of Bayesian reasoning\, or a premise&nbsp\;in his argument against naturalism.</p>
