Abstract

In this paper we discuss the problem of ascribing beliefs to an agent, given partial knowledge of his beliefs. The particular kind of ascription we are interested in we call explanatory ascription, since it ascribes beliefs to an agent as a means of explaining the beliefs we already know he has.
