There have been two major models of the mind's relation to its
environment in Western though, both of which employ the term
'representation', but in quite different ways. The newer one,
dominant today in philosophy, takes the mind to have states about
its environment. The older concept, originating with Aristotle but
still present in every day speech and in the new sciences of the
mind, takes the mind to sample its environment. This book clarifies
the old notion, solves some serious problems it faces, and explores
the implications for philosophy of an awareness of the view of the
mind emerging from cognitive neuroscience. Topics covered include
concepts, perception, emotions, beliefs and actions.
