This book argues against the mainstream view that we should treat
propositional attitudes as internal states, suggesting that to
treat beliefs as things of certain sort (i.e. to reify them) is a
mistake. The reificatory view faces several problems that the
non-reificatory view avoids, and it is argued the non-reificatory
view is more faithful to the everyday concept of belief. There are
several major reasons why it might be thought that a reificatory
approach to mental states is nevertheless unavoidable, but this
book attempts to show that none of these reasons is at all
convincing; in each case, the evidence is consistent with a
non-reificatory view. Having argued that the popularity of the
reificatory view is unjustified, the author examines history of
psychology and philosophy of mind, and the structure of
psychological language, in order to show that this popularity is
quite understandable, but mistaken nonetheless.
