ABSTRACT
Introduction The aim of this chapter is to analyse the logical form of valuing. I will argue that valuing a concept or property, such as gold, is a universal statement qua logical form, that valuing an object, such as a soccer ball, is an existential statement qua logical form, and, furthermore, that a correct analysis of the logical form of valuing contains doxastic operators. I will show that these ingredients give rise to an interesting interplay between uniform and non-uniform quantification, on the one hand, and de dicto and de re beliefs, on the other.
