Title: Neil Sinhababu
Title: The Gap Between Thought and Ought
Abstract: According to Nishi Shah and David Velleman, it is a
conceptual truth about belief that it is governed by a norm of truth.
They claim that their view helps to explain the difference between
imagination and belief, and explains why the deliberative question
"whether to believe that p?" inevitably gives way to "whether p?" They
call this phenomenon "transparency." I argue that it is merely a
synthetic truth about belief that it is correct if and only if true.
First, their view does little to help us distinguish believing from
imagining. Second, when people reject the norm of truth for belief, we
regard them as substantively mistaken rather than incoherent. Third,
we can give better explanations of transparency without regarding the
concept of belief as having any normative content.
