Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articlesavailable from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jerry A. Fodor'sLanguage of Thought hypothesis, or LOTH, states that cognition andcognitive processes are only 'remotely plausible' when expressed ascomputational in terms of representational systems. He uses empiricaldata drawn from linguistics and cognitive science to express internalrepresentations through a philosophical vantage point. Like otherlanguages, it contains its own syntax as well as semantics which have acausal effect on the properties of these mental representations. Fodorbelieved that there was merit in characterizing the representationalsystem that one was 'provisionally committed' to, and that researchstrategies, if not necessarily true, at least contain an 'air of primafacie plausibility.' The hypothesis describes that thoughts arerepresented in a 'language' which allows complex thoughts to be built upby combining simpler thoughts in various ways. It is clear from thebiology of the brain that these mental representations are not presentin the same way as symbols written on paper; rather, the LOT is supposedto exist at the cognitive level, the level of thoughts and concepts.
