Annotation

According to the thesis of indeterminacy, a person has attitudes towards sentences: propositional attitudes do not underlie or explain those attitudes in question. Thus, if you regard a speaker's psychological attitude as (potentially) distinct from the sentences he/she uses you are in trouble: when interpreting a speaker's sentences you have to take into account how the speaker reasons and why he/she is reasoning that way (the pragmatics of the rhetorical situation). There are no linguistically, etc. , neutral propositions behind sentences.
