What eliminative materialism isn’t
Must cognition be representational
Representation Reconsidered
Cognitive representation is the single most important explanatory notion in the sciences of the mind and has served as the cornerstone for the so-called 'cognitive revolution'. This book, originally published in 2007, critically examines the ways in which philosophers and cognitive scientists appeal to representations in their theories, and argues that there is considerable confusion about the nature of representational states. This has led to an…

Belief and Cognitive Architecture
Considerable debate in philosophy of psychology has recently focussed upon two central themes. One concerns the ontological status of propositional attitudes like beliefs and desires, the other on the proper computational account of cognitive architecture. In the ontological debate, the two most prominent positions are eliminativism, which claims that commonsense psychology is false because there are no such things as beliefs and desires; and ver…

Connectionism and three levels of nativism
The Moot Points of Melville's Indian-Hating
A BOOK of many enigmas, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade ALi has been slow to reveal its secrets. Yet if one point has emerged clearly it is that Melville's most difficult book is, in the of H. Bruce Franklin, grand reductio ad absurdum of the novel form itself.' Joel Porte calls it kind of literary vaudeville show and argues that Melville's aim is ultimately to undermine belief in the truth of romance.2 And to the same point William B. Stein c…
Melville's and Barnum's Man with a Weed
CRITICAL SCRUTINY of The Confidence-Man often begins with Black Guinea's puzzling list of character references early in the story. From this list of probable impostors issues what one character calls a 'Wild goose chase!' or the reader's pursuit of the one original confidence man of the masquerade. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded in using Guinea's list for that purpose, for it is generally known that the list is either teasingly incomplete or…
