Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this work is to represent the analysis of the belief sentences from the respect to traditional and contemporary views. The two main representatives are Rudolf Carnap and Saul Aron Kripke. First analysis regards the belief sentences as intensionally isomorphic and in this particular context Carnap regards the concept of context that is neither extensional nor intensional, and finds that it is the case of the sentences about belief. Second analysis goes through translational and disquotational principle, where Kripke arises question whether we may have contradictory beliefs and finds such possibility in the concept of different cognitive contexts.
