Mental fragmentation is the thesis that the mind is fragmented, or
compartmentalized. Roughly, this means that an agent's overall
belief state is divided into several sub-states-fragments. These
fragments need not make for a consistent and deductively closed
belief system. The thesis of mental fragmentation became popular
through the work of philosophers like Christopher Cherniak, David
Lewis, and Robert Stalnaker in the 1980s, and has recently
attracted increased attention. This volume is the first collection
of essays devoted to the topic of mental fragmentation. It features
important new contributions by leading experts in the philosophy of
mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language. Opening with an
accessible introduction providing a systematic overview of the
current debate, the fourteen essays cover a wide range of issues:
foundational issues and motivations for fragmentation, the
rationality or irrationality of fragmentation, fragmentation's role
in language, the relationship between fragmentation and mental
files, and the implications of fragmentation for the analysis of
implicit attitudes.
