 Expressivists accordingly take normative judgments to be very different from ordinary beliefs. The belief that Dr. Pepper is sweet is a cognitive state of mind that takes the proposition that Dr. Pepper is sweet as its intensional object and that represents Dr. Pepper as having the property sweetness. The assertion that Dr. Pepper is sweet expresses this belief. But, in the expressivist view, the assertion that it would be bad to drink another Dr. Pepper does not express a cognitive state of mind that takes a proposition as its object and that represents drinking another Dr. Pepper as having a property. It rather expresses an aversion or some similar conative attitude.
