View submission: Why treat "desire" as a propositional attitude?

It's not an answer, but I just want to emphasize that there are people who do think of desires differently. E.g. Thagard http://cogsci.uwaterloo.ca/Articles/desires.pdf

(Also you probably know Ben-Yami's paper against characterizing mental states as propositional already.)

Ah, cool, thanks. I had read some other papers by Thagard but not this particular one. Good find.
