Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Representational Pluralism in Human Cognition: Tracing Points of Convergence in Psychology, Philosophy of Science, and Science Education
Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Representational Pluralism in Human Cognition: Tracing Points of Convergence in Psychology, Science Education, and Philosophy of Science
Naturalisms in Philosophy of Mind
Most contemporary philosophers of mind claim to be in search of a ‘naturalistic’ theory. However, when we look more closely, we find that there are a number of different and even conflicting ideas of what would count as a ‘naturalization’ of the mind. This article attempts to show what various naturalistic philosophies of mind have in common, and also how they differ from one another. Additionally, it explores the differences between naturalistic…
Modeling, Localization and the Explanation of Phenomenal Properties: Philosophy and the Cognitive sciences at the beginning of the Millennium
Evolutionary Explanation and Consciousness
If there is a received orthodoxy in contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive science, it is that all features of the mind, including meaning, action, and consciousness, can and perhaps must be naturalized (i.e., accommodated within the framework of the world of nature as understood by the natural sciences). At the same time, just about everyone working in philosophy of mind has realized for at least a decade that there are substantial proble…

Symbols, Computation, and Intentionality: A Critique of the Computational Theory of Mind
From the Publisher: The computational theory of mind the belief that the mind can be likened to a computer and that cognitive states possess the generative and compositional properties of natural languages has proven enormously influential in recent philosophical studies of cognition. In this carefully argued critique, Steven Horst pronounces the theory deficient. He refutes its claims and assumptions, particularly the assertion that symbolic rep…
