In this chapter I discuss faith as a practical sense of meaningfulness in experience which motivates political action and is an integral part of the experience of freedom. Such faith includes both a faith in oneself as a credible and capable political agent, as well as a faith in democracy as presenting meaningful possibilities for political engagement. I argue that such lack of faith is not only a cognitively held belief by those experiencing it, but also signals a broader fracturing of social experience. I put forward an account of faith as an aspect of what Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the “intentional arc” of perception and propose that an amount of faith is necessary for dealing with the ambiguity inherent to politics. I finish by outlining what the loss of such faith may entail to one’s ability to act politically.
