Two Notions of Mental Representation
In Uriah Kriegel (ed.), Current Controversies in Philosophy of Mind. Routledge (forthcoming)
| Abstract | The main thesis of this paper is twofold. In the first half of the paper, (§§1-2), I argue that there are two notions of mental representation, which I call objective and subjective. In the second part (§§3-7), I argue that this casts familiar tracking theories of mental representation as incomplete: while it is clear how they might account for objective representation, they at least require supplementation to account for subjective representation. | |||||||||
