VIDAL, JAVIER. EXPRESSION, DESCRIPTION, AND CONSCIOUS BELIEF. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.154, pp.85-106. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v63n154.30177.

The paper reviews expressivism with respect to statements of the form "I believe that p". The expressivist holds that the statement "I believe it is raining" is an expression and not a description of the belief that it is raining. The article proposes a variation of expressivism according to which such a statement expresses the conscious belief that it is raining, in the sense of Brentano's theory of consciousness. The content of the conscious belief that it is raining is that is raining and that the believer believes that it is raining.

Palabras clave : F. Brentano; expressivism; belief.
