Additional information

This paper is an abridged version of the commentary that I delivered at the 1993 Oberlin Philosophy Colloquium in response to Prof. Lynn Baker's paper entitled “Attitudes as Nonentities”. I have deleted several sections of my original paper because they raised criticisms against parts of Prof. Baker's colloquium paper that have been dropped or significantly modified in her present published version. I have noted in the text some of the places where I have made deletions, but have otherwise added nothing to the commentary. I am pleased that my comments were of value of Prof. Baker in revising her paper and I am grateful for her generous acknowledgement.
