Date: October 31st, 2016 4:47 PM Author: Territorial partner In section IX, James moves to investigate whether there are areas of belief where belief without evidence would be justified. James gives self-fulfilling beliefs as one example of such beliefs:
"Do you like me or not?-for example. Whether you do or not depends, in countless instances, on whether I meet you half-way, am willing to assume that you must like me, and show you trust and expectation. The previous faith on my part in your liking's existence is in such cases what makes your liking come. But if I stand aloof, and refuse to budge an inch until I have objective evidence, until you shall have done something apt [...] ten to one your liking never comes. [...] The desire for a certain kind of truth here brings about that special truth's existence; and so it is in innumerable cases of other sorts." |

His think for example that a ship will only mutiny if each crewman believes the others will, and so ones belief in the mutiny is necessary to bring it about. But it seems we can suggest that each crewman is taking a calculated risk, not that they must believe the mutiny exists before it can exist. |
