Abstract

Propositional and notional attitudes are construed as relations (-in-intension) between individuals and constructions (rather than propositrions etc,). The apparatus of transparent intensional logic (Tichy) is applied to derive two rules that make it possible to ‘export’ existential quantifiers without conceiving attitudes as relations to expressions (‘sententialism’).
