Abstract

The article presents a philosophical inquiry into the elements of interest in truth. The "Standard View" of belief is defined through a desire for objective accuracy, but is then criticized through the dualistic assertions of philosopher William James regarding further desires of removing false belief. The epistemology of Roderick M. Chrisholm and Ernest Sosa are also engaged within the debate.
