This book presents nothing less than a new conception of the contents of thoughts, one which is sensitive to the considerations that led philosophers like myself to stress the role of factors external to the speaker in fixing content, and which also meets the desiderata that led bifurcationists like Fodor to postulate a second notion of content for use in psychology. |
