"Belief and its bedfellows"
Tuesday, 9 October, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
This paper attempts to draw some lessons about the nature of belief
from considerations concerning beliefs’ ‘bedfellows’: states that are
not paradigmatic beliefs but are belief-like in certain important
respects. I examine the merits of various proposals about how to
categorize such states, before turning to the question of what such
states might be able to teach us concerning the nature of belief, the
propositional attitudes, and mental states more generally.
