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, thereby, is
considerably more central to modern epistemology than has
standardly been 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.
