 Practically everybody thinks that the objects of intentional states are in some way complex… [For example], what you believe when you believe that \(P \amp Q\) is… something composite, whose elements are—as it might be—the proposition that P and the proposition that Q. But the (putative) complexity of the intentional object of a mental state does not, of course, entail the complexity of the mental state itself… LOT claims that mental states—and not just their propositional objects—typically have constituent structure.
