RE: What is Belief?

in #psychology7 years ago

I really enjoyed the post. I do think your analysis is slightly off though. Truth, from the perspective of any individual is identical to belief. You speak of an objective truth existing beyond the observer, but I would argue that because this supposedly objective truth cannot be viewed except through the lens of subjectivity, it cannot be objectively known and therefore is not an objective truth. Perspective is everything. Also, I would argue there is no such thing as an erroneous belief. The veracity of your belief is not determined by how many share your belief. Is that making sense? Let me know. I can always reword things. I look forward to your future posts.
