Possible Worlds Semantics for Belief Sentences
Joe. Y. F. Lau · The HKU Scholars Hub (University of Hong Kong) · 1998
This paper is about possible worlds semantics for propositional attitude sentences. In particular I shall focus on belief reports in English such as “Lusina believes that tofu is nutritious.” It is well-known that possible worlds semantics for such reports suffers from the so-called problem of equivalence. In this paper I shall examine some attempts to deal with this problem and argue that they are unsatisfactory.
