"Contrary to the belief in things good or bad by nature, the adoption of suspension of judgment on the matter makes it possible to attain unperturbedness and happiness, and hence to live acceptably."
Should I rather say:
"Contrary to the belief in the existence of things good or bad by nature..."
or
"Contrary to the belief that things are good or bad by nature..." ?

Assuming that the belief in question is not about whether things exist or not, I'd vote for--
'Contrary to the belief that things are good or bad by nature...'
'Contrary to the belief that things are good or bad by nature...'
