Thought-Contents: On the Ontology of Belief and the Semantics of Belief Attribution (Philosophical Studies Series) by Steven E. Boër
English | Dec 8, 2006 | ISBN: 0673992071 | ASIN: 1402050844 | 386 Pages | PDF | 2 MB

This book provides a formal ontology of senses and the belief-relation that grounds the distinction between de dicto, de re, and de se beliefs as well as the opacity of belief reports. According to this ontology, the relata of the belief-relation are an agent and a special sort of object-dependent sense (a "thought-content"), the latter being an "abstract" property encoding various syntactic and semantic constraints on sentences of a language of thought.
