Abstract

The present paper tries to analyze the concept of belief and acceptance while considering the views of van fraassen, Cohen, Alston and Clarke. Fraassen, trying to explore scientific theories, has distinguished between belief and acceptance and believed that acceptance means adequacy and belief includes personal probability. Cohen, on the other side, interpreted the belief with the expression of inclination for the truth of the proposition and held that acceptance means assertion (to assert applying the predicate of a proposition for the subject). Alston, affirmed that belief is tied up with certainty and it differs from acceptance. He has explained the relation of these two notions with faith in his works. The author has explained the views of Alston as well. Meanwhile Clarke emphasized on voluntariness of acceptance and held that belief is not voluntary and it comes in degrees. As a conclusion the author compared the views and has held that the belief has with it some features as following: it is a kind of attitude of the knowing subject toward propositions and also things (propositional attitude); it is always considering the truth; it does not come with probability; it is not directly voluntary; and finally there is difference between the beliefs based on senses and the beliefs based on other belief making sources. Method: The method of the research is descriptive and rational analysis and comparing opinions about belief. Results and Conclusion: The author of the survey concludes the features and indicators of belief as follow: 1-it is an approach from the area of knower in relation to the theorem. 2-it is always truth conductivity 3-not compatible with probability 4-not directly voluntary 5-there is a difference between beliefs based on the sences and beliefs based on othe sources
