Beliefs play a central role in our lives. They lie at the heart of
what makes us human, they shape the organization and functioning of
our minds, they define the boundaries of our culture, and they
guide our motivation and behavior. Given their central importance,
researchers across a number of disciplines have studied beliefs,
leading to results and literatures that do not always interact. The
Cognitive Science of Belief aims to integrate these disconnected
lines of research to start a broader dialogue on the nature, role,
and consequences of beliefs. It tackles timeless questions, as well
as applications of beliefs that speak to current social issues.
This multidisciplinary approach to beliefs will benefit graduate
students and researchers in cognitive science, psychology,
philosophy, political science, economics, and religious studies.
