PESSIS GARCIA, Begoña e ALVARADO MARAMBIO, José Tomás. The 'Dark Night of the Soul' and Externalism on Faith. Rev. filos.open insight [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.9, pp.109-140. ISSN 2395-8936.
Different proposals have been presented recently about the nature of faith. In many of these theories there has not been a sufficient understanding and discussion of several phenomena that occurs to people with a deep interior life of faith. One of these phenomena is the noche oscura del alma -as it was dubbed by Saint John of the Cross. In a noche oscura the presence of God is darkened for the faithful. In fact, it seems to him that he has no faith. Neither internalist theories of faith, nor non-cognitivist theories of faith seem able to explain properly how it is possible a phenomenon like la noche oscura. Instead, cognitivist and externalist theories of faith seem appropriate.
