Context and the Attitudes collects thirteen seminal essays by Mark
Richard on semantics and propositional attitudes. These essays
develop a nuanced account of the semantics and pragmatics of our
talk about such attitudes, an account on which in saying what
someone thinks, we offer our words as a 'translation' or
representation of the way the target of our talk represents the
world. A broad range of topics in philosophical semantics and the
philosophy of mind are discussed in detail, including: contextual
sensitivity; pretense and semantics; negative existentials;
fictional discourse; the nature of quantification; the role of
Fregean sense in semantics; 'direct reference' semantics; de re
belief and the contingent a priori; belief de se; intensional
transitives; the cognitive role of tense; and the prospects for
giving a semantics for the attitudes without recourse to properties
or possible worlds. Richard's extensive, newly written introduction
gives an overview of the essays. The introduction also discusses
attitudes realized by dispositions and other non-linguistic
cognitive structures, as well as the debate between those who think
that mental and linguistic content is structured like the sentences
that express it, and those who see content as essentially
unstructured.
