Representation is puzzling. Physical events in our heads andsounds
inour mouths come to be 'about' the worldaround us, equipping us to
think and talk about anything fromthe mostfundamentalregularities
in the universe to trivial matters of gossip.InThe Metaphysics of
Representation, Robert Williams tells a story about how
representational properties arise out of a fundamentally
non-representational world. The representational properties of
language are reduced, via convention, to the representational
properties of thoughts. The representational properties of thoughts
are reduced, via principles of rationalization, to the
representational properties of perception and intention. This most
fundamental layer of representation is grounded in the functions
these structures have to cause and be caused by events in the
world. Williams integrates work from rival traditions to present a
combined perspective in the metaphysics of representation, gives
new predictions and explanations of representational phenomena, and
offers new solutions to long-standing problems.
