- W2946682511 abstract "Belief is a familiar attitude: takingsomething to be the case or regarding it as true. But we are moreconfident in some of our beliefs than in others. For this reason,many epistemologists appeal to a second attitude, called credence,similar to a degree of confidence. This raises the question: how dobelief and credence relate to each other? On a belief-first view,beliefs are more fundamental and credences are a species ofbeliefs, e.g. beliefs about probabilities. On a credence-firstview, credences are more fundamental and beliefs are a species ofcredence, e.g. credence above some threshold. In this thesis, Idevelop and defend a third view that I callbelief-credence dualism. On this view, beliefand credence are independent, equally fundamental attitudes, andneither reduces to the other. I begin bymotivating the project: why should we care about the relationshipbetween belief and credence? I argue it has broad implications formany debates in epistemology and beyond. Then, I defend dualism,arguing that it can explain features of our mental lives that acredence-first view and a belief-first view cannot. I also arguethat dualism has attractive, interesting implications when appliedto the pragmatic encroachment debate. Finally, I exploreimplications of dualism, both for the nature of evidence and howfaith might go beyond the evidence but nonetheless be epistemicallyrational. I conclude that the human mind is, in some ways, complex,but we should be happy with this conclusion also long as eachmental state we posit has a clear role to play." @default.
