True Belief And It's Constructed Rationality

Belief is one of the most key concepts in the tripartite definition of knowledge. The bringing forward of this concept and the development of the theories of belief has been an important part of epistemological philosophy. Beliefs, therefore, gradually become the focus of contemporary philosophy within the scope of research and discussion. This article has a discussion on the source of belief, the relationship between knowledge and true belief, and the constructive effects on cognitive rationality deprived from belief. The main content of this paper will be analyzed in the perspective of cognitive logic and divided into three parts.In part 1, this paper mainly introduces he source and connotation of true belief.Belief is rooted in the subjective trust, so it obtains some of the properties of faith and trust. So beliefs have logical truth-value, and the true belief will appear when the truth-value is true. The demarcation of true beliefs and false beliefs is based on whether there has the consistency between beliefs and facts. Within the scope of the cognitive logic, true belief constitutes the main part of knowledge.In Part 2, this paper mainly analyzes thelogical relationship between true belief and theknowledge under the traditional view, the tripartite definition of knowledge in the traditional view regards true belief as its core component, and it holds the opinion that knowledge is true belief which was defensible. There has been two opposite attitudes about this opinion, one holds that true beliefs contains knowledge,The other thinks that knowledge contains the true belief, which should not be attributed to the category of knowledge. For people tend to have the ability to distinguish between true faith and falseproposition after they have obtained true belief. The distinction betweentrue faith and falsepropositionalso indicates that we cannot separate the logical properties between true beliefs and knowledge. Then we can come to an conclusion from the dimension of cognitive logic that the process of the production of knowledge should be true belief first, knowledge second, namely, there exists an sequencing relationship in the cognitive level between true beliefs and knowledge beyond the logical containment relation.Part 3 introduces discusses how to buildtrue belief rationally. Not all beliefs can constitute knowledge, but true belief is the main part of knowledge. In the cognitive process, true belief generally appears earlier than knowledge. Such we could find an inevitably logic contradiction:In other words, how to rationally build true belief is the key to solve the antinomy between true belief and knowledge.Thecognitive activity of human being is a dynamic developing process, we cannot be ruled out the "true" belief which might be constituted by some reasonableconjecturewithout empirical test.
