It is rather unjustified to say that our ability is solely limited by our belief. However in deeper analysis we may say that our ability is limited by our knowledge that we have. The role of Belief is only partial in building the knowledge system. In exploring the theory of knowledge, the primary question arises what constitute knowledge, the process of "knowing that" or process of "knowing how". Much of the debate in this field has focused on analyzing the nature of relation of truth belief and justification on the knowledge.
Socrates considers that knowledge is true belief that has been given an account of—meaning explained or defined in some way. Knowledge is justified true belief. A given proposition is true, one must not only believe the relevant true proposition, but one must also have a good reason for doing so. Attitudes come from the base of knowledge which forms the characteristic. Personality is sum total of characteristics.
The reason for unbelief in belief is the truth and the illusion element contain in it. In the world of the senses, the opinions are founded upon one’s ability of sensing system. Truth lies in the perception of existence and error in the idea that non-existence also can be. Perception is thought directed to the pure essence of being; the phenomenal world is a delusion, and the opinions formed concerning it can only be improbable.
We can voluntarily control our beliefs. Its influential on thought have reason for the existence of emotions and propositional knowledge. Believing and disbelieving are mater of choices. Intellectualists deny this; they say it's impossible to adopt a belief simply because we decide to. All our action is the result of our preference and preference is the belief that one thing is better than another. According to them, deliberately choosing which beliefs to hold is practically impossible.
Transcendental arguments are partly non-empirical, often anti-skeptical arguments focusing on necessary enabling conditions either of coherent experience or the possession or employment of some kind of knowledge or cognitive ability, where the opponent is not in a position to question the fact of this experience, knowledge, or cognitive ability, and where the revealed preconditions include what the opponent questions. Such arguments take as a premise some obvious fact about our mental life—such as some aspect of our knowledge, our experience, our beliefs, or our cognitive abilities—and add a claim that some other state of affairs is a necessary condition of the first one.
