Contents:

Introduction: the persistence of the attitudes -- Individualism and supervenience -- Meaning holism -- Meaning and the world order -- Creation myth -- Why there still has to be a language of thought.

Summary: Psychosemantics explores the relation between commonsense psychological theories and problems that are central to semantics and the philosophy of language. Building on and extending Fodor's earlier work it puts folk psychology on firm theoretical ground and rebuts externalist, holist, and naturalist threats to its position. --From publisher's description.
