Neil Feit argues that this view breaks down in the face of beliefs about the self. These are beliefs that we express by means of a first-person pronoun. Feit maintains-following David Lewis, Roderick Chisholm, and others-that in general, the contents of our beliefs are properties. Unlike propositions, properties lack absolute truth values that do not vary with time, place, or person.   Belief about the Self offers a sustained defense of the Property Theory of Content, according to which the content of every cognitive attitude is a property rather than a proposition. The theory is supported with an array of new arguments, defended from various objections, and applied to some important problems and puzzles in the philosophy of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI recommend this book to all philosophers and linguists because it is unique monograph on 'de se' beliefs...Many ramifications of this idea are explored, as well as the relationships with to other theories. This is a really important book. * Alessandro Capone Language *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE PROPERTY THEORY, TWIN EARTH, AND BELIEF ABOUT KINDS","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742123819351,"sku":"9780195341362","price":37.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780195341362.jpg?v=1758380621","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/belief-about-the-self-a-defense-of-the-property-theory-of-content-9780195341362","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
