Propositional Attitudes by Mark Richard

Propositional Attitudes by Mark Richard

This book makes a stimulating contribution to the philosophy of language and philosophy of mind. It begins with a spirited defence of the view that propositions are structured and that propositional structure is 'psychologically real'. The author then develops a subtle view of propositions and attitude ascription. The view is worked out in detail with attention to such topics as the semantics of conversations, iterated attitude ascriptions, and the role of propositions as bearers of truth. Along the way important issues in the philosophy of mind are addressed. Though intended primarily for professional philosophers and graduate students the book will also interest cognitive scientists and linguists.

'.. important both for its original view and the consistently insightful and sophisticated comments on the views of others.' Ed Gettier, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Mark Richard is Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Tufts University. He is the author of Propositional Attitudes and the editor of Meaning. Meaning in Context, a collection of his papers, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
