Durkheim s discussion of collective belief, though suggestive, is relatively obscure. philosophy Philosopher Margaret Gilbert has offered a related account in terms of the joint commitment of a number of persons to accept a certain belief as a body. According to this account, individuals who together collectively believe something need not personally believe it themselves. Gilbert s work on the topic has stimulated a developing literature among philosophers. One question that has arisen is whether and how philosophical accounts of belief in general need to be sensitive to the possibility of collective belief.

A belief structure is a distributed assessment with beliefs. It is used in the Evidential Reasoning Approach Evidential Reasoning ER Approach for Multi criteria Decision Analysis to represent the performance of an alternative option on a criterion. For example, the quality of a car engine may be assessed to be excellent with a high degree of belief e.g. 0.6 due to its low fuel consumption, low vibration and high responsiveness. At the same time, the quality may be assessed to be only good with a lower degree of belief e.g. 0.4 or less because its quietness and starting can still be improved. Such an assessment can be modeled by a belief structure Si engine excellent, 0.6 , good, 0.4 , where Si stands for the assessment of engine on the i th criterion quality . In the belief structure, excellent and good are assessment standards, whilst 0.6 and 0.4 are degrees of belief. In the ER approach, an MCDA problem is modelled by a belief decision matrix instead of a conventional Decision Matrix decision matrix . The difference of the two is that in the former, each element is a belief structure while in the latter, each element is a single value either numerical or textual .

Belief bias is a cognitive bias in which someone s evaluation of the logical strength of an argument is biased by their belief in the truth or falsity of the conclusion. This effect has been demonstrated in psychological experiments, and is independent of reasoning ability. In a series of experiments by Evans, et al., subjects were presented with deductive reasoning deductive arguments in each of which a series of premises and a conclusion are given and asked to indicate if each conclusion necessarily follows from the premises given. In other words, the subjects are asked to make an evaluation of logical validity .

orphan date June 2010 Original research date May 2009 jesus Belief in Jesus is a term generally synonymous with Christianity , indicating generally speaking a view that Jesus was or is a being who was anointed by God as the Messiah prophesied in Judaism , and that his Gospel good news is a profound and loving message from God to all human beings &mdash most dominantly conveying a message of hope for the transcendence religion transcendence of the soul , divine judgment divine justice , and an eternal life for the just. Beyond this view however, Christian theology is a vast, varied, differentiated, and myth ical landscape. Many concepts with Christianity appear to contradict one another, or else they appear to be incompatible with other Christian views. And the concept that belief in Jesus can be discussed separately from Christianity, raises some profound questions Is it possible to believe in Jesus without subscribing to particular theological doctrines described in various Christian doctrines?
