 Expressivism might also be combined with a minimalist view of the use of the term “belief”, according to which beliefs are the psychological states, whatever their nature, that are expressed by assertions. On this view, an expressivist could agree that we believe it would be bad to drink another Dr. Pepper. But, for the expressivist, this “belief” or judgment is a conative state of aversion or something like aversion. It is not the kind of cognitive state that is expressed when we assert that Dr Pepper is sweet. On this view, then, there are at least two radically different kinds of belief – cognitive states that take propositions as their objects and conative states that consist in having a conative attitude to something. And there presumably are also mixed states.
