Document Summary
Video lecture notes - week ii video lecturing assessing arguments: Why do you think that? / where does your belief come from? . The idea for a ground for a belief is ambiguous. Causal/historical ground a ground that justifies the belief in some way . A causal/historical ground for belief only give the listener an answer to the questions: where did that belief originate? . Example: racist attitude why do you think that race has to do with a response can be. Well i was brought up to think that way . If you consider this, how you are brought up does not provide any justification for the belief. Just because a person cites where their belief came from, does not itself make the belief justified. Making you feel better is not likely to provide a justification for that belief. We believe that medicine the makes us feel better, but it is not completely correct.
