doxastic /dɒkˈsastɪk /adjective PhilosophyRelating to an individual’s beliefs: doxastic worlds...- Collective entities are obviously ‘social’ in an important way; and if it is granted that such entities are bearers of beliefs and other doxastic states, shouldn't these collective states be an important target for social epistemology?
- No matter how self-evidently correct or right-headed the project may appear, epistemic propriety demands that doxastic commitment be delayed, one way or another, until there is data.
- A third common line of objection to doxastic theories is that we may sometimes base beliefs on reasons of which we are unaware.
OriginLate 18th century: from Greek doxastikos 'conjectural', from doxazein 'to conjecture'. |
