Summary, in English

In this paper we discuss some recent and widely debated views of belief, comparing them with Ramsey’s, as it was developed in his classic papers and the posthumously published work On Truth. This paper is not purely historical. Modern views of belief, especially the theory of Shah and Velleman are examined, and it is shown that Ramsey’s views are relevant to the current discussion. Ramsey’s theory of belief and judgement satisfies conditions stressed in modern theories, and even goes beyond them. As it can be reconstructed from his writings, his theory still has much to offer.
