The Ethics of Belief: Conservative Belief Management

Some believe that Clifford 's opinion is contradictory, but it attracts devaluation of possible outcomes of non - political beliefs and argues that the result is not related to this belief. My argument is that Clifford's view is the same and it is only necessary to clarify the impact on the role of "belief ethics" (and in this respect William James's "will believe"). As Clifford argues, the outcome of certain events not formed by a specific belief has nothing to do with the state of knowledge and moral belief. A moral problem is the use of non-political beliefs to form a policy that constitutes a commitment to the principle of opposition. (I) our earlier moral obligation to minimize the risk of harming ourselves and other people (ii) blatant ignorance (i) adoption of risk policy, ie non-political . Clifford's claim should be interpreted as proof that the non-political belief management approach actually constitutes a risk contradictory to the moral obligations of this predecessor. They have nothing to do with this risk. The moral status of their beliefs. They have nothing to do with non-political moral status, but they have nothing to do with the facts of risk. Non-political moral imperfection is in a contradiction with our previous moral obligation, not the value or depreciation expenses of a particular outcome of the belief management style.

Naturally, the classical trajectory of belief debate ethics is an article naming it. "Ethics of Faith" was published in 1877 by a mathematician of Cambridge and a philosopher William Goldden Clifford in a journal called "Contemporary Review". At the beginning of the paper, Clifford defended the strict principle that we are always obliged to provide sufficient evidence for each belief. Indeed, since the early part of "belief ethics" was very strict, William James later described Clifford as "delicious greed" and defended "self-discipline." Tragedy "(1896, 8)

In 1877, William King Don Clifford suggested that belief in certain things would be unreasonable without sufficient evidence in his book "Ethics and Beliefs". . He often acknowledges that there is a gap of understanding between evidence and conclusion in the belief of many people (inductive reasoning), but he also said, "Whenever there is no evidence anywhere, nobody knows things In addition, he insists that trusting (tendency to believe) and tolerating superstition eventually harm society. He agreed with David Hume (1711-76) and "All wise men are commensurate with their beliefs and evidence." This position - a belief without sufficient evidence - is irrational - is called evidenceism and many atheists (including Clifford and Hume) are adopted in their theology.

In "Ethics of Faith", William Clifford believes that no one can believe without evidence anytime, anywhere. Clifford gives immorality without evidence. An example of faith is the owner of a ship who believes that his ship is on the sea, abandoning the overhaul of the ship, overcoming his doubt, spending the examination and making the necessary repairs. This example is a belief in self-interest. For his own interests, the owner of the ship overcame his doubts. Then he gathered his insurance and everyone on his boat died in the ocean as he proved that the ship was not ship resistant.
