Ersatz belief and real belief

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Philosophers have given much attention to belief and knowledge. Here I introduce an epistemic category close to but different from belief, that I call 'ersatz' belief. Recognition of this category refines our catalogue of epistemic attitudes in an important way.
