We intuitively describe mental reality with the help of a fundamental contrast between what philosophers call psychological modes, on the one hand, and their contents, on the other hand. Amongst psychological modes, we count seeing, hearing, remembering, thinking, imagining, wondering and the like and, amongst contents, any kind of propositional (e.g., that a red tree is in front of one) or sub-propositional (one’s first meeting with a good friend, a melody) complement that these verbs can take. One can then be quite naturally led to think that a major task facing philosophers interested in mental states consists in exploring the nature of modes and their relations to contents. However, even though a vast majority of philosophers acknowledge the distinction, their interest in modes vanishes once they have done so. This neglect had and continues to have some regrettable consequences. It has for instance led many philosophers to endorse the idea that all psychological modes can be assimilated to belief and desire, or to uninteresting variations on them. Another consequence, also traceable to the influence of functionalism and representationalism, is that it has contributed to reinforce the conviction that all issues regarding phenomenology have to be addressed either in terms of content, or in terms of unintentional properties or qualia. The original idea behind the present research project is that confronting the source of these consequences head-on - that is to say, systematically investigating the nature of psychological modes as well as their contributions to intentionality and phenomenology - is needed if we are to develop a convincing account of the nature of mental states and to shed new light on some philosophical problems surrounding these aspects of the mind. Its aim is thus to explore the relevance and import of the distinction between mode and content in general as well as in relation to a variety of types of mental states such as perceptions, sensations, emotions, memories and imaginings. Given the nature of these issues, it will provide a unique opportunity to make arguments and theses in a variety of philosophical domains (philosophy of mind, epistemology and philosophy of language) interact. To my knowledge, this is the first attempt within recent philosophy to systematically investigate the mode-content distinction and to engage with a variety of debates that start to emerge in different philosophical domains.
