Neil Feit's book, "Belief about the Self," will be published in June by Oxford University Press. The book defends a theory about the nature and psychological content of representational mental states such as beliefs and desires. Dr. Feit is a member of the Philosophy Department faculty. The book offers a sustained defense of the Property Theory of Content, according to which the content of every cognitive attitude is a property rather than a proposition. The theory is supported with an array of new arguments, defended from various objections, and applied to some important problems and puzzles in the philosophy of mind.
