Industry Reviews The author argues that all intelligible theories of representation by ideas are based on likeness between representations and objects. He touches on the ideas of Plato, Descartes, Wittgenstein, and Ruth Millikan, using the historical development of representationalism to pose a central problem in contemporary cognitive science, and concluding that the 17th century materialist criticisms of having mental representations in the mind apply to contemporary material representations in the brain as proposed by neurophilosophers. Of interest to scholars and researchers in neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. Reference & Research Book News (09/01/1996)
