Belief versus Acceptance
نویسنده
چکیده
Belief seems to be connected to truth and to the acceptance of the content of belief as true. If a person accepts as true that the cat is on the mat, then it might seem that he must also believe that the cat is on the mat, and conversely. However, the connections here should be investigated in terms that are more precise and should be properly argued for. This is my main aim in this paper. I will discuss these matters not only in the case of single agents but also, to some extent, in the collective case. Section I discusses other author’s views and it also clarifies the notions of belief and acceptance as true of the present paper. Section II discusses the connection between these two notions, and Section III is concerned with the collective case.

This paper investigates the notion of the Stalnakerean acceptance in relation to common ground, exploring alternative contexts where the Stalnakerean view of acceptance is insufficient (2002). Thus, this paper extends the Stalnakerean notion of acceptance through the introduction of qualitative as well as quantitative notions of beliefs into Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), corresponding ...

متن کاملPropositional Reasoning that Tracks Probabilistic Reasoning
This paper concerns the extent to which uncertain propositional reasoning can track probabilistic reasoning, and addresses kinematic problems that extend the familiar Lottery paradox. An acceptance rule assigns to each Bayesian credal state p a propositional belief revision method Bp, which specifies an initial belief state Bp(⊤), that is revised to the new propositional belief state B(E) upon ...
متن کاملNumerical representations of acceptance
Accepting a proposition means that our confidence in this proposition is strictly greater than the confidence in its negation. This paper investigates the subclass of uncertainty measures, expressing confidence, that capture the idea of acceptance, what we call acceptance functions. Due to the monotonicity property of confidence measures, the acceptance of a proposition entails the acceptance o...
متن کاملBelief-based and analytic processing in transitive inference depends on premise integration difficulty.
Three experiments investigated belief-based versus analytic processing in transitive inference. Belief-based and analytic processing were inferred from conclusion acceptance rates for problems with conclusions that were either valid or invalid and believable or unbelievable. Premise integration difficulty was manipulated by varying premise integration time (Experiment 1), premise presentation o...
