How to Validly Quantify into Hyperintensional Nonpropositional Attitudes

Original language description

In this paper I demonstrate how to validly quantify into hyperintensional contexts involving non-propositional attitudes like seeking, solving, calculating, and wanting to become in their respective de dicto and de re variants. The main results are the following. First, it is always valid to quantify into hyperintensional attitude contexts and over hyperintensional entities. Second, factive attitudes (e.g. finding the site of Troy, having solved the equation sin(x) = 0) validate, furthermore, quantifying over intensional or extensional entities, respectively, and so do non-factive attitudes, both empirical and non-empirical ones, provided the respective constituent of the attitude complement presents the sort of object that is to be quantified over. I focus mainly on mathematical attitudes, which are non-controversially hyperintensional. Concerning empirical attitudes, I analyse those that are hyperintensional, because their intensional variant would yield a contradiction, like seeking a yeti without seeking an abominable snowman. As a result I formulate and prove four rules for quantifying into hyperintensional attitudes de dicto and two rules for quantifying into attitudes de re, in their active and passive form, respectively.
