💭 信仰

接受某事物為真或存在。

信仰

你相信明天會下雨。你相信二加二等於四。你相信你的朋友值得信賴。信念是一種認為某件事為真的態度。它可以是有意識的、明確的,也可以是無意識的、未經審視的。它可以基於證據、習慣、權威,或是一廂情願的想法。哲學家們長期以來一直在爭論信念究竟是一種怎樣的狀態,它與知識有何關係,以及它何時才是理性的。

標準分析將信念視為一種命題態度:主體相信某個命題為真。信念有程度之分。你可能確信無疑、相當自信,或只是傾向於認為某事屬實。信念的程度,或稱置信度,是貝葉斯認識論的核心。信念也指導行動。如果你相信橋是安全的,你就會過橋;如果你相信橋不安全,你就不會過橋。信念與行為之間的這種聯繫,正是信念超越思考範疇而具有重要意義的原因之一。哲學家將信念與知識區分開來,知識需要真理和論證。一個信念可能是真但缺乏論證,也可能是合理的但為假。

信仰類型

信仰也是一種社會現象。共同的信仰將社群凝聚在一起,並且可能難以被證據所動搖。

    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.
