The Ethics of Belief (William Clifford)

An explication of William Clifford’s famous paper “The Will to Believe” and how we can use Deontic and Doxastic Logic to understand it. This video explains Clifford’s argument, but also shows how we can combine Deontic and Doxastic Logic to look at a problem in Philosophy of Religion. In the Next video we look at the same application of logic for William James’s Response to this paper, “The Will to Believe”.
