"So, are such beliefs arrived at or discovered?"
It seems to me they are epiphenomenal. We live a certain way and when
the occasion calls for it, we articulate this way of living in
propositional form. The beliefs I formulate on these occasions are not
recollected since I can be wrong about what I believe. Nor can these
beliefs be created on the spot since other people occasionally see what
I believe better than I and before I do.
A: "Phil, what do you think about ... ?"
Phil: "Hmmm, haven't really thought much about that but I suppose that I
believe ..."
A: "But you are .. and you also believe ... I think you believe ..."
Phil: "Hmmm, you're right. I suppose, then, that I believe ..."
A linguistic Ausserung, as it were.
