Measure of Mind - Propositional Attitudes and Their Attribution

Zusatztext fascinating book...Robert Matthews pursues, with great rigour and tenacity, the question of how we should understand our practice of attributing propositional attitudes and, in particular, the specific questions of how subjects must be built (given the best available accounts of the building materials) if they are to serve as proper targets for that practice...I cannot do justice here to the detail and care involved in Matthew's presentation of his case. Zusammenfassung Provides a critique of a widely held view of beliefs, desires, and other 'propositional attitudes', and their role in the production of thought and behaviour. This book is suitable for scholars and graduate students working in the philosophy of mind and language.
