In Feelings of Believing: Psychology, History, Phenomenology, Ryan
Hickerson demonstrates that philosophers as diverse as Hume,
Descartes, Husserl, and William James all treated believing as
feeling. He argues that doxastic sentimentalism, therefore, is
considerably more central to modern epistemology than philosophers
have recognized. When the empirical psychology of overconfidence
and attention is brought to bear on the history of philosophy and
the phenomenology of believing, all point toward belief as
fundamentally affective. Understanding believing as feeling has the
potential to make us better believers, both by encouraging
suspicion of unexamined certainties and by focusing attention on
credulity. Hickerson argues that believing is typically felt but
not given attention by the believer, and he suggests that virtuous
believers are those who pay careful attention to their own
sentiments-- who attempt to raise their beliefs to the level of
judgments.
