意味（1）

(philosophy) A relational mental state connecting a person to a proposition, such as believing that, desiring that, or hoping that.

Of course, the problem applies not only to belief, but also to a host of other mental phenomena which may be called propositional attitudes: doubting, considering, desiring, etc. In all these cases it seems natural to express the phenomenon in the form A doubts p, A desires p, etc., which makes it appear as though we were dealing with a relation between a person and a proposition.
