I think when people claim to have knowledge, they are claiming to have not only a belief, but a convincing degree of evidence for their belief. I don't think the same can be true of beliefs. It's a much lower epistemic standard, and not simply equivalent to a knowledge claim. I have many beliefs that I would not claim are knowledge.

  • That's also why I specified ''to some level of certainty.'' My point is, any meaningful definition of ''believing something'' would include that you believe this is true, and that you're making a claim about reality (which ought to be supported by evidence). I wasn't trying to make a point about epistemic standards, and I should have been more specific, so thanks for the correction.
