The usual way to defend propositionalism is to say that ascriptions of intentional states by intensional transitives can be analysed to reveal covert material which shows their true propositional attitude structure.
The basic tenet of propositionalism is that every mental intentional attitude, every thought, pro-attitude, belief, desire, perception, adoration, resentment, contemplation, etc. is a fundamentally proposition-involving attitude.
