In particular, the author focuses on the controversial \"eliminativist\" and \"instrumentalist\" attacks - from philosophers such as of Quine, Dennett, and the Churchlands - on our ordinary concept of mind. In so doing, Rey offers an explication and defense of \"mental realism\", and shows how Fodor's representational theory of mind affords a compelling account of much of our ordinary mental talk of beliefs, hopes, and desires.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eGeorges Rey\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland.
