摘要
Belief is subject to a norm according to which one may believe a proposition if and only if it is true. After explaining how this view relates to the view that belief aims only at the truth, I defend my formulation of the norm of truth against a number of objections. A recurring issue which several of those objections raise is whether the proper formulation of the norm which governs believing should include the claim that, if a proposition is true, one ought to believe it. I argue that it should not.
