PROPOSITION <br />

It is used to refer to some or all of the following: the<br />

primary bearers of truth-­‐‐value, the objects of belief<br />

and other "ʺpropositional aNitudes"ʺ (i.e., what is<br />

believed, doubted, etc.), the referents of that-­‐‐clauses<br />

and the meanings of declarative sentences.<br />

Propositions are the sharable objects of aNitudes and<br />

the primary bearers of truth and falsity. This<br />

stipulation rules out certain candidates for<br />

propositions, including thought-­‐‐ and uNerance-­‐tokens<br />

which are not sharable, and concrete events<br />

or facts, which cannot be false.
