In Representational Ideas: From Plato to Patricia Churchland Watson
argues that all intelligible theories of representation by ideas
are based on likeness between representations and objects. He
concludes that 17th century materialist criticisms of having'
mental representations in the mind apply to contemporary material
representations in the brain, as proposed by neurophilosophers. The
argument begins with Plato, with particular stress on Descartes,
Malebranche, and Arnauld. He then proceeds with an examination of
the picture theory developed by Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Goodman,
and concludes with an examination of Patricia Churchland, Ruth
Millikan, Robert Cummins, and Mark Rollins. The use of the
historical development of representationalism to pose a central
problem in contemporary cognitive science is unique. For students,
scholars and researchers in neuroscience, cognitive science,
philosophy of mind, and modern philosophy.
