Doxastic attitudes
A Doxastic attitude is an attitude pertaining to a belief. Alternatively, it also pertains to states sufficiently similar to beliefs (thoughts, judgments, opinions, desires, wishes, fears).
Evidentialism is generally applied to justified beliefs distinct from unjustified beliefs one may hold in a doxastic attitude.
