"352","Syntax, content and functionalism: What is wrong with the syntactic theory of mind","I argue that Stich's Syntactic Theory of Mind (STM) and a naturalistic narrow content functionalism run on a Language of Though story have the same exact structure. I elaborate on the argument that narrow content functionalism is either irremediably holistic in a rather destructive sense, or else doesn't have the resources for individuating contents interpersonally. So I show that, contrary to his own advertisement, Stich's STM has exactly the same problems (like holism, vagueness, observer-relativity, etc.) that he claims plague content-based psychologies. So STM can't be any better than the Representational Theory of Mind (RTM) in its prospects for forming the foundations of a scientifically respectable psychology, whether or not RTM has the problems that Stich claims it does.","http://cogprints.org/352/","Aydede, Murat","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Aydede, Murat</span>     (1996)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/352/\"><em>Syntax, content and functionalism: What is wrong with the syntactic theory of mind.</em></a>       [Preprint]         (Unpublished)   ","","1996"
