Philosophy of mind has been one of the most active fields in
philosophy for the past three decades. One of the most significant
factors in the development of this discipline has been the
emergence of cognitive science and the interest philosophers have
taken in the empirical study of mind. Another equally important
factor has been the "naturalistic tum" brought about by W. V.
Quine. His proposal that normative epistemology be replaced by
empirical psychology marked a radical departure from the Fregean
"anti psychologism" and "apriorism" that had characterized much of
the analytic tradition in philosophy. But while Quine's program of
naturalization called the attention of philosophers to empirical
psychology, his conception of psychology was inspired by an austere
behaviorism which shunned the mentalism of intentional psychology
in the Brentanian and phenomenological tradition. Thus, while
agreeing with Brentano that the "intentional idiom" could not be
reduced to that of the natural sciences, Quine argued that it is of
a piece with the indeterminacy of translation. Most contributors of
this col lection share the cognitivist stance and believe that the
mind needs to be explained rather than eliminated. Three main
questions are actually confronting current philosophers of mind,
each addressed by one or another of the contributors to the present
collection."
