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. \u003cbr\u003e  For students, scholars and researchers in neuroscience, cognitive  science, philosophy of mind, and modern philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995-11-30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780792334538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416677802124,"sku":"9780792334538","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792334538_33011416-807d-4c6d-bc82-645defb7cd16.jpg?v=1768917592","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792334538","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
