Synopsis

Psychosemantics explores the relation between commonsense psychological theories and problems that are central to semantics and the philosophy of language.

Review

" (Fodor's) aim in this book is to protect folk psychology, as a solid basis for mental science, from a range of objections that have been brought against it in recent years, mainly by philosophers. He does so with verve, clarity and wit, generally getting the better of his revisionary opponents. The book is vintage Fodor: clever, stimulating, challenging, infuriating." - Colin McGinn, "Nature"
