This relation, unthinkable and suprarational, is central to Chaitanya's philosophy. |

There would be no enigma in the Guide if Maimonides had believed that truth can be discovered in a suprarational way, through revelations vouchsafed to the Prophets. |

But, also within the framework of medieval Scholasticism, a dispute was always brewing between the dialecticians, who emphasized or overemphasized reason, and those who stressed the suprarational purity of faith. |

Among the great living religions of the world, there is wide agreement that revelation cannot be fully communicated by books and sermons but only by an ineffable, suprarational experience. |
|
Given Maritain's account of faith and of suprarational knowledge, it would seem that he would see religious beliefs as 'trusts' and, hence, as having more than a purely cognitive character. |
