Kenny Easwaran (TAMU): The Tripartite Role of Belief

Belief and credence are often characterized in three different ways - they ought to govern our actions, they ought to be governed by our evidence, and they ought to aim at the truth. If one of these roles is to be central, we need to explain why the others should be features of the same mental state rather than separate ones. If multiple roles are equally central, then this may cause problems for some traditional arguments about what belief and credence must be like.
