Abstract (may include machine translation)

We welcome Phillips et al.'s proposal to separate the understanding of knowledge from that of beliefs. We argue that this distinction is best specified at the level of the cognitive mechanisms. Three distinct mechanisms are discussed: tagging one's own representations with those who share the same reality; representing others' representations (metarepresenting knowledge); and attributing dispositions to provide useful information.
