Abstract: Note that this system resembles what philosophers and developmental psychologists have called belief-desire psychology (see, e.g., Searle, 1983, Dennett, 1987, Wellman, 1990). This view holds that the keys to understanding everyday human action (e.g., Carl eats celery) are desires (e.g., Carl wants to lose weight) and beliefs (Carl believes that celery aids weight loss). Similarly, this system suggests that cultural values, like desires, shape action goals while cultural theory-driven inferences yield beliefs relevant to actions.
