IV 117 Rationality/Fodor/Lepore: rationality restricts believe attribution: one cannot believe that p and at the same time believe that not-p, but not for content: you can have contradictory content even contradictory propositional attitudes are possible. Meaning is not rationalistically limited either: one sentence can express p and not-p at the same time. Wishes can be contradictory. IV 130 Intentional attribution is not limited by rationality, because representations may be irrational (inconsistent) or fantastic. Fodor/LeporeVs: that would be a change of subject, irrational propositional attitudes would be no intentional states. Constitutive of belief: rationality is not at the same time p and not-p, but objects of intentional states may be contradictory. >Contradictions, >Objects of thought, >Objects of belief, >Mental states, >Propositional attitudes.}, note = { F/L Jerry Fodor Ernest Lepore Holism.
