The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden

\Scanned PDF

No belief, not even a true belief, is a necessary condition -- and so constitutive -- of authentic existence.

The most that any belief can be is representative of authentic existence.

Still, the difference between being representative of authentic existence and being misrepresentative of it remains -- and it is an important difference.

The point is only that that it cannot be so important as to be in some way a necessary condition of authentic existence, and so constitutive of it.
