| | Belief and Knowledge |
| | Thus, for a belief to be knowledge, it must be the case that the belief is, in fact, true, and the believer must have justification for the belief. | | | A belief that is true but for which we have no evidence cannot be described as knowledge. | | | Knowledge has been frequently described as ``justified true belief," a belief held by an individual that is both true and for which they have some justification. |

| | In January she was in the relevant belief state, and all her beliefs (let us suppose) were true; whereas in July she was in exactly the same belief state, but at least one of her beliefs – the belief that it was cold outside – was false. | | | What characterizes one’s belief state is not the set of possible worlds that constitutes one’s total immediate object of belief, but rather the set of situations in which all the beliefs of anyone in the same beliefs state one is actually in are true. | | | First, a belief state is an organismic contribution to belief: it is the organism’s contribution to belief, not the environment’s. |

| | Such beliefs are no different in principle from beliefs in fairies at the end of the garden, in ghosts in some deserted abbey, in werewolves, in satanic conspiracies, in miraculous cures, and so on. | | | This system is as capable of generating fallacious beliefs as it is of generating beliefs that are in line with truth. | | | Whether or not there is really a Heaven for worthy souls does nothing to detract from the usefulness of such a belief for people who are searching for meaning in life. |

| | Why Bad Beliefs Don't Die (Skeptical Inquirer November 2000) |
| | This is why beliefs-even bad beliefs, irrational beliefs, silly beliefs, or crazy beliefs-often don't die in the face of contradictory evidence. | | | This means that even seemingly small, inconsequential beliefs can be as integral to the brain's experience of survival as are beliefs that are "obviously" connected to survival. | | | In fact, the whole survival value of beliefs is based on their ability to persist in the face of contradictory evidence. |
