The expressive function of folk psychology
Vol 18, No 1 (2017) • Filosofia Unisinos - Unisinos Journal of Philosophy
Autor: Victor Fernandez Castro
Resumo:
The aim of this paper is to present a challenge to the received view in folk psychology. According to this challenge, the semantic assumption behind the received view, which considers that propositional attitude ascriptions are descriptions of the internal causally efficacious states underlying behavior, cannot account for the main function of reasons in terms of mental states.
