The paper argues that it is possible to have secondorder doubts, i.e. doubts on doubts, and claims that their function is to stimulate research in new directions, so as to overcome first-order doubts. This concerns both knowledge and belief, and, in particular, belief as a disposition to act. Doubt itself can be considered as partial belief (and a second-order doubt as a partial belief on a partial belief) when different reasons pull in opposite directions.
Keywords: Belief, doubt, knowledge, Peirce, Ramsey, reasons
