Webinar Description:
In this brief talk, I will address some similarities and differences between clinical delusions and beliefs in conspiracy theories and argue that we have no good reason to consider them pathological beliefs. Instead, I will defend the view that they are a speaker's identity beliefs that interpreters find both implausible and unshakeable.
