The paper argues in favour of a new form of constitutivist position with respect to our so-called "knowledge" of our own mental states. It does so by distingishing between attitudinal mental states as commitments and as dispositions and by proposing a minimalist account of psychological concepts' possession. It defends this view from a number of standard criticisms raised in the recent literature on the topic.

Abstract

The paper argues in favour of a new form of constitutivist position with respect to our so-called "knowledge" of our own mental states. It does so by distingishing between attitudinal mental states as commitments and as dispositions and by proposing a minimalist account of psychological concepts' possession. It defends this view from a number of standard criticisms raised in the recent literature on the topic.
