Experiential Attitudes are Propositional

چکیده

Abstract Attitudinal propositionalism is the view that all mental attitude content truth-evaluable. While attitudinal still silently assumed in large parts of analytic philosophy, recent work on objectual attitudes (i.e. like ‘fearing Moriarty’ and ‘imagining a unicorn’ are reported through intensional transitive verbs with direct object) has put under explanatory pressure. This paper defends for special subclass attitudes, viz. experiential attitudes. The latter seeing, remembering, imagining whose grammatical objects intuitively denote (events or) scenes. I provide propositional analysis preserves merits propositionalism. uses possibility representing target-scenes by intersection propositions true these show this makes available usual (Russellian) account intensionality common (Boolean) logic entailments.

Propositional Attitudes? *

According to the standard lore on propositions, there are many propositional attitudes, including belief, fear, and desire. The standard lore is partly correct: belief is a propositional attitude. But, so this paper argues, fear and desire are never propositional attitudes, not even when the content of the relevant fear or desire can be fully expressed by using a that-clause. 1.

Propositional Attitudes and Causation

Predicting and explaining the behavior of others in terms of mental states is indispensable for everyday life. It will be equally important for artificial agents. We present an inference system for representing and reasoning about mental states, and use it to provide a formal analysis of the false-belief task. The system allows for the representation of information about events, causation, and ...

Pragmatics for Propositional Attitudes

Suppose sentences (1a) and (1b) are true. What is the truth value of (1c) under the assignment that maps x to the individual d which is Cicero and Tully? As Quine observes, the ordinary notion of belief seems to require that although (1c) holds when x is specified in one way, namely as Cicero, it may yet fail when the same x is specified in some other way, namely as Tully. Classical modal predi...
