The paper sketches an analysis of the notion of a self-fulfilling belief in terms of doxastic modal logic. The author points out a connection between self-fulfilling beliefs and Moore’s paradox. Then he looks at self-fulfilling beliefs in the context of neighbourhood semantics. The author argues that the analysis of several interesting self-fulfilling beliefs has to make essential use of propositional quantification.
