Positivism, whatever else it is, is not "faith". "Faith" is when you
believe something in the absence of evidence.
Hmm... I would not say that. This is more what many would call "blind
faith", which should be avoided, imo.
I would say that faith is when you intuit, feels, trust, suspect, ...
a proposition, without being able to give a justification, or direct
strong evidence.
