SOC 4083 Sociology and Philosophy of Belief


(3 hours)


What do humans think they know? What sorts of “folk theories” about knowing serve to guide and justify people’s claims? What appear to be main sources of beliefs? Are there any apparent limits to what people will claim to know? How do philosophers try to distinguish between more and less reasonable beliefs? Prerequisites: SOC 1033 ; SOC 2133 ; PHIL 1003 ; ANTH 1063  or ANTH 2043 ; or permission of instructor.
