All right, but pragmatic considerations should be taken into account to get the full picture of our communicative practices concerning de re/de dicto ...
Why? What are the reasons? Where are the arguments to support your claim that JTB is the basis for belief as propositional attitude? I mean, ought we ...
How is this relevant? Instead, give me an example of a proposition, sentence, statement (or whatever else you don't care to distinguish from propositi...
Sure and propositions statements sentences (and whatever else you have in your menu) can be parsed in sequences of electric impulses with different el...
That is the problem of putting visual content into propositional form. Images can be ambiguous in a way that is not captured by any related descriptio...
I don’t see what JTB about knowledge has to do with our understanding of belief ascriptions. Your understanding of belief ascriptions is biased by you...
Not sure about that. Take a couple of English sentences with their relative translations in French: A1) Alice loves Jim A2) Jim is loved by Alice B1) ...
Good question. Here is another one: if all propositions can be rendered in linguistic form, then what proposition would correspond to the following im...
Many philosophers take the technical notion “abstract entity” to mean something that is not the result of some mental operation (“abstraction”). Accor...
creativesoul's reminder of "rigid designators" is misleading. Kripke's theory of rigid designators was supposed to address the logic distinction betwe...
de re belief ascriptions can be less ambiguously rendered in the following form: S believes of X that p E.g. Jack believes of that broken clock that i...
creativesoul's ideas about belief ascriptions sound not only preposterous (and justifiably so for me), but also very dangerous: e.g. imagine some chri...
The philosophical debate about propositions starts (or should start) from some strong intuitions that should be readily acknowledged by all competent ...
I didn't ask for help, I asked you how you understand the relation between the notion of "belief" and the one of "concept". You retorted the question ...
Sure, but again I’m interested to understand better what kind of substantial issues your claims are supposed to address. For the same reason I asked y...
That doesn’t sound a correct report of Jack’s belief. Indeed it would make Jack’s belief contradictory. A better report would be: Jack believes that c...
I take the word “concept” as referring to some cognitive abilities presupposed by belief ascription. For now all I’m inclined to add is that concepts ...
It wasn’t clear to me since "the cat believes the bowl is empty” could be taken as mentioning a sentence not as using it to describe whatever is suppo...
I disagree. The referent of the word "belief" is a cognitive intentional state/event (depending on the dispositional or actual meaning we attribute to...
To me, they are enough to seriously challenge Banno's account as he presented it so far. But as I said, we can determine our views on beliefs better b...
I don't see how we can further it. I and you seem to agree on points that he fails to address. And apparently proudly so. I have a question more about...
Poorly articulated, sorry, I meant: or he could try to claim that, in this case, the propositional content of the belief that the present King of Fran...
@"creativesoul" Indeed this is what I already remarked in my previous comment: Maybe he could try to claim that either X doesn't really believe that, ...
@"Banno" I've argued at length and to the point what I think about your arguments. While you didn't serve me with the same treatment, instead you are ...
