This Element explores the concept of doxastic states, which are belief-like states, including outright and degreed doxastic states. It explains how these states can be reduced to conviction thresholds, the fundamental nature of degrees of conviction, their compatibility with suspending a belief, and how Kant endorsed this theory.
