Abstract: This paper challenges T. S. Gendler’s notion of aliefs, a novel kind of mental state which
she introduces to explain a wide variety of belief-discordant behaviors. In particular,
the argument is that many of the cases which she uses to motivate such a mental state can be fully
explained by accounts that make use only of commonplace attitudes such as beliefs and
desires.
