Igal Kvart Kripke’s Belief Puzzle Revisited Section 1: Introduction. Kripke’s puzzle about belief 1 is an attempt to defend the Millian thesis, viz., that the sole linguistic function of a proper name is to provide its referent. The thesis is innocuous in extensional contexts; in modal contexts, it amounts to the obliteration of the distinction between the de dicto and the de re readings regarding proper names. Yet this latter conclusion follows also from Kripke’s famous thesis t hat proper name’s are rigid designators, which has been widely accepted. But in the contexts of attitudinal ascriptions, on the de dicto reading (which is the only reading discussed by Kripke in his paper and in this paper), it is well- known that proper names are not substitutable salva veritate (in the scope of the intensional operator), contrary, it seems, to the Millian thesis. Kripke argues that substitutivity in belief contexts on the basis of the Millian thesis requires a reliance also on certain normal practices regarding the use of the notion of belief, of which he lists three (see below). He then presents his puzzle about Pierre (see below), and argues that, together with these normal practices, it leads to paradoxical results. In particular, it leads to a straightforward contradiction, as well as to the paradoxical result that Pierre i s inconsistent. Kripke’s defense of the Millian thesis consists in arguing that the Millian thesis doesn’t lead to unacceptable consequences by itself, but only together with the normal practices concerning the notion of belief, whereas the latter lead to paradoxical results all by themselves, that is, without recourse to t he Millian thesis. Hence the fault doesn’t lie with the Mill ian thesis. In this paper I argue the following. First, that Kripke’s puzzle leads to the paradoxical results specified by Kripke only when the normal practices regarding the notion of belief that Kripke lists are combined with the propositional theory of belief and belief ascription (henceforth: PTB), which Kripke implicitly relies on. I briefly present an alternative account of belief and belief ascription, the sentential theory of belief (henceforth: STB). I will then argue that the STB, when combined with the normal practices regarding belief, doesn’t lead to the paradoxical results that Kripke
