大英百科全书关于belief解释:
信仰,对一个命题的接受或同意的心理态度,而没有保证其真实性所需的全部智力知识。信仰要么是一种理智的判断,要么像18世纪苏格兰怀疑论者大卫·休谟(David Hume)所主张的那样,是一种特殊的感觉,带有不同于怀疑的含义。信仰是根据其确定程度来区分的:猜测或怀疑、意见或邀请。只有当一个命题的真理对信徒来说显而易见时,信仰才成为知识。相信某人或某物与相信某个命题是正确的基本不同。
崇拜具体的东西都不是信仰belief, a mental attitude of acceptance or assent toward a proposition without the full intellectual knowledge required to guarantee its truth. Believing is either an intellectual judgment or, as the 18th-century Scottish Skeptic David Hume maintained, a special sort of feeling with overtones that differ from those of disbelief. Beliefs have been distinguished according to their degree of certainty: a surmise or suspicion, an opinion, or aconviction. Belief becomes knowledge only when the truth of a proposition becomes evident to the believer. Beliefinsomeone or something is basically different from beliefthata proposition is true.
