notes from Tues the 4th
Lebertarianism view of doxastic
responsability.-It's not immoral to form
beliefs in a way not conducive to truth- just
independent and foolish.You control what you
choose. Beliefs are private and nobody's
business.
need to make sure not to close ourselves off
to possibilities, part of forming hypothisis
includes creative thinking.
We have a duty to believe the truth(or to do
our best to act so as to form true beliefs.
"I believe I didn't lose everthing"
"I believe i didn't go bankrupt"
False belief with regard to truth maybe we
can get the effects of the person who wills
it to believe something false by changing
attitudes.
Is truth intrinsically valuable or only as a
mean to other goods? (e.g.) happiness
painfull truth or comforting lie?
Pojman-false beliefs should be fostered under
only the most extreme circumstances in
general, it's wrong to violate your
epestimistic duty.
Does morality even atatch to beliefe or only
to behavior.
Irrationalist- faith is contray to or apposed
to reason.
