Description The fine-grained analysis of propositional attitudes results in the claim that they are constructional attitudes, i.e., relations between an individual and a propositional construction (in the sense of TIL). The article shows that another interpretation is consistently possible, according to which the attitude is (from the viewpoint of the reporter) an attitude to a piece of the state of the world. Then the analysis results in the claim that propositional attitudes relate individuals with propositions in the sense of the possible-worlds semantics.
