- Title
Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow: Attitudes De se and De motu.
- Authors
Winsberg, Eric
- Abstract
This paper argues that the classification of propositional attitudes into the de re, de dicto, and de se is incomplete. De se attitudes are widely agreed to be closely connected to de re attitudes. But there is a species of belief that is linked to agent‐centered action in the way that de se beliefs are, but is also associated with entities, places, and especially times, under a description. These mark out a fourth kind. One way to think about what makes them distinctive is that, despite being 'essentially indexical' they can be retained across different contexts of evaluation without having diagonal content. The paper also discusses the connection between such beliefs and the kinds of utterances (like 'Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today') that are contested as examples of what David Kaplan called 'monsters.'
