| Tartalmi leírás: |
Here I challenge the philosophical consensus that we use folk psychology for the purposes of
metarepresentation. The paper intends to show that folk psychology should not be conceived on par
with fact-stating discourses in spite of what its surface semantics may suggest. I argue that folkpsychological
discourse is organised in a way and has conceptual characteristics such that it cannot
fulfill a fact-stating function. To support this claim I develop an open question argument for
psychological interpretations, and I draw attention to the central role of rationality, the conceptual
connections, and the essential evaluative content inherent in folk psychological ascriptions. As a
conclusion I propose that a fictionalist account of the discourse would fit its characteristics better
than a factualist-realist interpretation.
