An Approach to Indexical Beliefs

An approach to indexical beliefs is presented and defended in the paper. The account is inspired by David Kaplan’s representa-tionalist analysis of de re belief reports. I argue that imposing addi-tional constraints on the Kaplanian notion of representation results in an elegant theory of indexical beliefs. The theory is committed to representations of limited accessibility but is not committed to rela-tivized proposition, special de se contents or propositions of limited accessibility.
