Marsida Barjamaj Prof: J. Kessler PHL 101 The ethic of believe. People have been always interested to know the circumstances under which it is necessary to believe. Believing on facts or not depend by the person. In this paper I look to demonstrate if Is it wrong to hold a belief on insufficient evidence or is it morally right to believe based on the sufficient evidence. In this paper I aim to discuss the other philosopher in contrast with Clifford. My issue is to show what mean to believe and how important is that in our lives.

If we take one example about one harmless belief, we see that Clifford refuse to accepts those beliefs even such ostensibly harmless there are harmless to the society. Those beliefs are sustained by ingrained habits of refusing the conclusions they have by evidence.

In the first views, they would seem to be facts rather than beliefs. Sometimes you don’t have to consider your beliefs in themselves but how things actually are. We reason from our beliefs so that is what we actually believe. If I believe that it has rained because the streets are wet, it is because the fact that the street are wet not because that I believe them to be.

The right answer in these cases is the fact rather than the belief which serves as a reason. â€Å"It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence.† If
