11. Knowledge Aims / A. Knowledge / 4. Belief / e. Belief holism

3100	You have to reaffirm all your beliefs when you make a logical inference [Harman]
	Full Idea: Since inference is inference to the best total account, all your prior beliefs are relevant and your conclusion is everything you believe at the end. So, you constantly reaffirm your beliefs in inference.
	From: Gilbert Harman (Thought [1973], 12.1)
