This Element provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary
theories of mental content. After clarifying central concepts and
identifying the questions that dominate the current debate, it
presents and discusses the principal accounts of the nature of
mental content (or mental representation), which include causal,
informational, teleological and structuralist approaches, alongside
the phenomenal intentionality approach and the intentional stance
theory. Additionally, it examines anti-representationalist accounts
which question either the existence or the explanatory relevance of
mental content. Finally, the Element concludes by considering some
recent developments in the debate about mental content,
specifically the “explanatory turn” and its implications for
questions about representations in basic cognitive systems and the
representational character of current empirical theories of
cognition.
