A problem for Frege's analysis of propositional attitude reports and its metaphysical consequences

In this paper, I will consider a problem that affects Frege’s analysis of propositional attitude reports. Firstly, I will outline Frege’s analysis. Then, I will show how it straightforwardly leads into a problem that seems to undermine that very analysis. After that, I will consider an attempt to avoid the problem. Finally, I will point to potential metaphysical consequences of that problem that go well beyond Frege’s framework and then connect Frege’s problem with some more recent discussion concerning propositional attitude reports.
