The mind is directed upon the world. There are worldly things that
we have beliefs about and things in the world we desire to have
happen. We find some things fearsome and others likable. The puzzle
of intentionality - how it is that our minds make contact with the
world - is one of the oldest and most vexed issues facing
philosophers. Many contemporary philosophers and cognitive
scientists have been attracted to the idea that our minds represent
the world. This book explores an important assumption about
representation, namely, that when we represent things in the world,
we represent them as having properties, and in this way our
representations have "propositional" structure. The contributors
examine what the commitment to propositionalism amounts to;
illuminate why one might find the thesis attractive (or
unattractive); and consider ways in which one might depart from
propositionalism. The hope is that this will lead towards a more
complete understanding of how the mind and world are connected.
