The theory of credition suggests that we should use active and agential language about beliefs. Instead of “beliefs” we should talk about “believing”. The approach encourages us to see believing as a “mental activity” or “dynamic activity” (Angel et al., 2017). These expressions raise an important question: is “believing” something that human agents do or does it happen to us? Or to put the question in another way: are our beliefs results of our own agency or not? In what follows, I will examine this question from the point of view of responsibility.
