Quote by Thomas Carlyle
As a first approximation, I define belief not as the object of believing (a dogma, a program, etc.) but as the subject's investment in a proposition, the act of saying it and considering it as true.
Summary
This quote proposes a different perspective on belief, defining it not as the specific thing being believed in, but rather as the act of investing oneself in a proposition and considering it to be true. It emphasizes the active participation of the subject in the process of believing, suggesting that belief is not merely about accepting dogmas or programs, but about personally engaging with and affirming a particular assertion.
