The mechanisms of belief

Description

A report I wrote for a humanities project while studying for my masters, under the supervision of Michel Faucheux. Largely based on Durkheim's sociology, we start by highlighting the social aspects underlying the phenomenon of belief. Then, we show that beliefs are also the object of science and sociological/anthropological knowledge, and that it is even a building block of knowledge and science. Finally, we conclude that beliefs mediate our knowledge and our relationship to truth.
