Lectures and research manuscripts2 of the late period show also that this second f…

This article is intended as a contribution to our understanding of the nature of belief as a propositional attitude. After contextualizing the issue, we discuss and reject some accounts of belief as a gamble and as high (near to 1) subjective probability and argue for the claim that believing that p consists in merely attributing a higher subjective probability to p than to not-p being not-p any of p"s alternatives and all of them as a whole. Additionally, we propose that the question which a belief answers is crucial in order to determine the degree of belief and the reasons in its favor. Este artículo trata de profundizar en nuestra comprensión de la naturaleza de la creencia en tanto que…
