Proper analysis

When properly analyzed all intentional attitudes turns out to be relations to propositions. This does not reduce all intentional attitudes, or at least the intentionality of all intentional attitudes, to beliefs and desires; it allows that loving, hating, admiring, imagining, and so on are irreducible intentional attitudes.
