💭 信仰

接受某事为真或存在。

信仰

你相信明天会下雨。你相信二加二等于四。你相信你的朋友值得信赖。信念是一种认为某事为真的态度。它可以是有意识的、明确的,也可以是无意识的、未经审视的。它可以基于证据、习惯、权威,或者一厢情愿的想法。哲学家们长期以来一直在争论信念究竟是一种怎样的状态,它与知识有何关系,以及它何时才是理性的。

标准分析将信念视为一种命题态度:主体相信某个命题为真。信念有程度之分。你可能确信无疑、相当自信,或者只是倾向于认为某事属实。信念的程度,或称置信度,是贝叶斯认识论的核心。信念也指导行动。如果你相信桥是安全的,你就会过桥;如果你相信桥不安全,你就不会过桥。信念与行为之间的这种联系,正是信念超越思维范畴而具有重要意义的原因之一。哲学家将信念与知识区分开来,知识需要真理和论证。一个信念可能是真但缺乏论证,也可能是合理的但为假。

信仰类型

信仰也是一种社会现象。共同的信仰将社群凝聚在一起,并且可能难以被证据所动摇。

    I think belief is more than accepting something as true. There's usually an emotional or personal investment involved.

    Belief doesn't require proof but it usually requires some reason. The line between belief and knowledge is blurry.

    My grandfather used to say belief is what you do when no one is watching. That always stuck with me.

    Simple definition. Accepting something as true. The psychology behind why we believe things is the interesting part.

    As a philosophy student, I find this definition a bit too simple. Belief has so many layers depending on context.
