A fideist is one who argues for fideism. Debates have been centred on issues of incommensurability, sectarianism, fideism, relativism, truth, and ontological reference. The Roman Catholic Magisterium has, however, repeatedly condemned fideism. The word "fideism" comes from "fides", the Latin word for faith, and literally means "faith-ism". He is an old earth creationist who is a critic of fideism. Richard Popkin sees rational fideism as the opposite of "pure, blind, fideism". "Rational fideism" has been defined variously. According to C. Stephen Evans, rational fideism involves the possibility of reason becoming self-critical. A contemporary view is that his approach was a species of rational fideism. Another form of fideism is assumed by Pascal's Wager. Faith is not only fideism or simple obedience to a set of rules or statements. An apparent consequence of fideism is that all religious thinking becomes equal. Wittgensteinian fideism originates from the remarks in the "Lectures". Philosophers have identified a number of different forms of fideism.
