Abstract

The question of how, precisely, to characterize the state of belief has received quite some attention in recent literature. Among other things, it is argued that it is only in terms of norms for belief that belief can be distinguished from certain other propositional attitudes such as assuming or imagining. We shall discuss some such arguments, and suggest an alternative, non-normative understanding of belief.
