Zusammenfassung

When an epistemic subject is justified in believing something, she bases that belief on a reason. Thus, a basing relation is created. But what does that relation consist in? According to causal theories, the reason causes the belief; whereas, according to doxastic theories, the subject forms a metabelief about the basing relation. Causal theories face serious difficulties from the perspectives of argumentation theory and the psychology of reasoning. At the same time, doxastic theories overintellectualise the basing relation. Finally, an adaptation of doxastic theories will be suggested here, based on the idea of treating a belief as a reason in an argumentative sense.
