The issue of this study continues the analysis of persuasive truth (the “truth” of beliefs), a problem debated by us in several articles already published, especially in two of them: Doxastic Dialectics (1999) and The Probable and the Problem (2010). In this new “chapter,” our intention is to develop more details from the perspective of subjectivity, which has a grounding role in doxastic dialectics. Doxa’s axiomatic mechanism tries to temper the subjective dimension of persuasive truth, by submitting the doxastic proofs to the control of the oppositional principle (=antithetic “reasoning”). Doxastic thinking discovers dialectically its own ratio (=measure), progressively increasing the relevance of the listening capacity. In the text that follows, the concept of listening is used in a larger than sensitive sense, being equivalent to condition of receptivity.
