UID:20240329T124709Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Asia/Shanghai LOCATION:Hangzhou\, China\, 310058 DESCRIPTION:
Some philosophers argue that belief is weak. With this they mean that a warranted belief requires a low level of evidential support\, much lower than knowledge and assertion. They argue that sometimes it is appropriate to believe things that are merely likely\, or more likely true than false. If they were right\, this would lead to a radical revision or rejection of traditional and widely accepted views concerning belief\, knowledge\, assertion and their relations. This workshop features the contributions of some of the most important philosophers engaged in this debate. They will introduce their original research on this topic and will try to convince us that belief is weak\, or that it is not. Some of the talks will focus in particular on cross-linguistic and cross-cultural approaches to the problem\, highlighting differences and similarities between the ways in which we express doxastic attitudes in different languages.
