Doxastic voluntarism

Doxastic voluntarism is a philosophical concept that pertains to the nature of belief and the extent to which individuals can control or choose their beliefs. Specifically, it is the idea that individuals have voluntary control over their beliefs, meaning that they can choose what to believe in the same way they can choose their actions. Proponents of doxastic voluntarism argue that people can make a conscious decision to hold certain beliefs based on their will, reasons, or evidence.
