summaryThe modern notion of belief conflates several notions: opinion, conviction, faith and belief in. It seems to exclude, though, the traditional notion of judgement, that falls within the realm of reason. I will argue that the development from the rationalist notion of judgement to the naturalist notion of belief is prepared by John Locke, in his fourth Essay, and is completed in Hume's Treatise.
