Translation of a Term
Question
With God's help
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask what is meant by the term "doxastic" in relation to beliefs and the like.
Or non-doxastic
regarding a topic in the area of epistemology and logic.
I didn't completely understand the meaning of the word from searching Google.
Answer
Doxastic logic is the logic of expressions of belief, just as modal logic is the logic of possibility and necessity, and just as the logic of time is temporal logic, and likewise deontic logic concerns expressions of obligation, prohibition, and permission.
Discussion on Answer
The meaning of the expression "believes that," and its relation to similar and opposite expressions.
A very clear answer.
What do you mean by expressions of belief? That its statements are statements of belief?
