Essay for a Belief Theory according to the Tripartite Conception of Time

Abstract

This article has as main objective the attempt to think the possibility of a belief theory understood as divided in different temporal modalities: present, past and future. In view of the work developed by Tarski and Popper on the problem of truth,  and pragmatic theories of language such as of Habermas and Austin, we would like to test the limits of the conception of truth as correspondence in relation to a tripartite conception of time, that is, we ask ourselves about the validation of the choice according to the different temporal modality of the statements. At first, we analyze the factors so that a statement becomes objective, that is, valid beyond the subjective scope, according to the usual conception of time, and then to present some examples of practical use of the temporal modalities of the statements in the speaks every day, and in some public institutions governed by collectively accepted rules. Finally, we ask ourselves if the paradigm changes in relation to our conception of time are possible key factors with regard to the determination of the validation rules of the statements that have them as a reference, and the practical consequences of this type of statement.
