Written by one of today's most creative and innovative
philosophers, Ruth Garrett Millikan, this book examines basic
empirical concepts; how they are acquired, how they function, and
how they have been misrepresented in the traditional philosophical
literature. Millikan places cognitive psychology in an evolutionary
context where human cognition is assumed to be an outgrowth of
primitive forms of mentality, and assumed to have 'functions' in
the biological sense. Of particular interest are her discussions of
the nature of abilities as different from dispositions, her
detailed analysis of the psychological act of reidentifying
substances, and her critique of the language of thought for mental
representation. In a radical departure from current philosophical
and psychological theories of concepts, this book provides the
first in-depth discussion on the psychological act of
reidentification.
