Faith and the Epistemic Quest

The sources of knowledge have been traditionally limited to at least four: sense-perception, inference, memory, and testimony. Epistemological approaches involve the inductive (empirical), the inferential (rational), the intuitive (mystical), the indefinitive (skeptical), the informative (revelatory), the interpretive (hermeneutical), and the integrative (synthetical).^Note Two dispositions that either aid or hamper the quest of knowledge are faith and doubt.

Two opposite views in this regard are:
Integrationalism: The view that faith and the epistemic quest are integral to each other.
Segregationalism: The view that faith and the epistemic quest are opposed to each other.
