The antirealist view interprets beliefs as being causally irrelevant, that they do not constitute a natural kind, and that their content cannot be naturalized. Exploring the status of folk psychology, Poslajko raises key questions in the analytic metaphysics of mind: Are beliefs real? Do people really possess mental states which are causally efficacious bearers of propositional content? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy arguing for the antirealist view and revising our common-sense view about the nature of mind, he makes a compelling case for adopting a pragmatic metaphilosophy when we deal with questions about belief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283381666136,"sku":"9781350355002","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350355002_8ed400b8-3b6a-40f0-9d37-afbcd1862834.jpg?v=1767458731","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/unreal-beliefs","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
