View submission: Why treat "desire" as a propositional attitude?
But then I don't see what's so special about desire.
Maybe your question is: Why are intentional attitudes in general treated as propositional attitudes?, or Can intentional attitudes have non propositional content?

In a sense, yeah. The same non-propositional analysis could probably be given for other attitudes. I guess I focused on desire because there's a lot of work that invokes it (as opposed to work on fear), without, at least to me, justifying the thought that it just is a propositional attitude.
