The Folk Epistemology of Delusions
Neuroethics 5 (1):19-22 (2011)
Abstract
Lisa Bortolotti argues convincingly that opponents of the doxastic view of delusion are committed to unnecessarily stringent standards for belief attribution. Folk psychology recognises many non-rational ways in which beliefs can be caused, and our attributions of delusions may be guided by a sense that delusions are beliefs that we cannot explain in any folk psychological termsAuthor's Profile
