The notions of mental representation and intentionality are central
to contemporary philosophy of mind and it is usually assumed that
these notions, if not originated, at least were made essential to
the philosophy of mind by Descartes in the seventeenth century. The
authors in this book challenge this assumption and show that the
history of these ideas can be traced back to the medieval period.
In bringing out the contrasts and similarities between early modern
and medieval discussions of mental representation the authors
conclude that there is no clear dividing line between western late
medieval and early modern philosophy; that they in fact represent
one continuous tradition in the philosophy of mind.
