In this collection of papers by Laird Addis, published over
approximately a quarter century, the main topics are the ontology
of mind and the role of mind in the explanation of behavior. Addis
defends a theory of natural signs, by which there is, in every
conscious state including emotional states, an intrinsically
intentional entity. He also argues that explanations of behavior by
dispositional mental states, while not themselves causal
explanations, presuppose the possibility of such explanations. The
theory of dispositions is applied also to the theories of Chomsky
and Freud. In broad strokes, Addis holds that, while there is a
distinct realm of mental properties, behaviors admit of purely
physical explanations.
