   ISBN = {0262339862},
   Abstract = {© 2017 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Mark of the
             Mental, Karen Neander considers the representational power
             of mental states -- described by the cognitive scientist
             Zenon Pylyshyn as the “second hardest puzzle” of
             philosophy of mind (the first being consciousness). The
             puzzle at the heart of the book is sometimes called “the
             problem of mental content," “Brentano’s problem," or
             “the problem of intentionality." Its motivating mystery is
             how neurobiological states can have semantic properties such
             as meaning or reference. Neander proposes a naturalistic
             account for sensory-perceptual (nonconceptual)
             representations. Neander draws on insights from state-space
             semantics (which appeals to relations of second-order
             similarity between representing and represented domains),
             causal theories of reference (which claim the reference
             relation is a causal one), and teleosemantic theories (which
             claim that semantic norms, at their simplest, depend on
             functional norms). She proposes and defends an intuitive,
             theoretically well-motivated but highly controversial
             thesis: sensory-perceptual systems have the function to
             produce inner state changes that are the analogs of as well
             as caused by their referents. Neander shows that the three
             main elements -- functions, causal-information relations,
             and relations of second-order similarity -- complement
             rather than conflict with each other. After developing an
             argument for teleosemantics by examining the nature of
             explanation in the mind and brain sciences, she develops a
             theory of mental content and defends it against six main
             content-determinacy challenges to a naturalized
             semantics.},

   Abstract = {© 2015, The Author(s). This paper argues that a minimal
             notion of function and a notion of normal-proper function
             are used in explaining how bodies and brains operate.
             Neither is Cummins’ (1975) notion, as originally defined,
             and yet his is often taken to be the clearly relevant notion
             for such an explanatory context. This paper also explains
             how adverting to normal-proper functions, even if these are
             selected functions, can play a significant scientific role
             in the operational explanations of complex systems that
             physiologists and neurophysiologists provide, despite a lack
             of relevant causal efficacy on the part of such

   Abstract = {© Cambridge University Press 2017. The Bare-Bones Version
             Dennis Stampe (1977) and Fred Dretske (1986) proposed that
             mental reference to content supervenes on
             information-carrying functions. Their proposal endorsed two
             main theses: (1) that mental reference to content is
             grounded in the normal-proper functions of components of
             cognitive systems (teleosemantics) and (2) that mental
             reference to content is grounded in the natural information
             processed by these systems (informational semantics). My aim
             here is to make explicit a methodological argument in
             support of this dual thesis (“informational
             teleosemantics”). The argument is methodological in the
             sense that it relies on certain claims concerning
             explanatory concepts and practices in the mind and brain
             sciences. This first section gives the bare-bones version of
             the methodological argument. Later sections discuss each of
             the premises in turn, and then they discuss the kind and
             degree of support that the argument provides for the
             conclusion. Without further ado, here is the bare-bones
             version: P1: A notion of normal-proper function is central
             to the multilevel componential analyses (aka “functional
             analyses”) of the operation of bodies and brains that are
             currently provided by physiologists and neurophysiologists.
             P2: The brain’s normal-proper functions include cognitive
             functions. P3: The same notion of function (mentioned in P1)
             is central to the functional analyses of cognition that
             cognitive scientists provide. P4: An assumption in the
             mainstream branches of the cognitive sciences is that
             cognition involves information processing. P5: The
             (relevant) notion of information involved in talk of
             information processing in cognitive science is a notion of
             natural, factive information. P6: Cognitive science posits
             “normative aboutness,” with the norms derived from the
             normal-proper functions and the aboutness from the natural,
             factive information. C: Some version of informational
             teleosemantics (broadly conceived) is supported by the
             explanations of cognition that the mind and brain sciences
             currently provide. Though probably implicit in the
             suggestions made by Stampe and Dretske, this argument has
             not been fully articulated before. I try to cast some light
             on the reasons for this in the discussion that follows.
             Premise 1 The first premise says that a notion of
             normal-proper function is central to the multilevel
             componential analyses (aka “functional analyses”) of the
             operation of bodies and brains that are currently provided
             by physiologists and neurophysiologists.},

             that are rightly classified as homologous are constituted by
             (are so classified in virtue of) their consequence
             etiologies. We claim that SE functions are often used in the
             prior identification of the parts deemed to be homologous
             and are often used to differentiate more restricted
             homologous kinds within less restricted ones. In doing so,
             we discuss recent criticism of this view that has been
             offered (especially that offered by Paul Griffiths).

   Abstract = {As per Brentano, one cannot have any mental attitude towards
             a thing unless it is present in one's mind. One cannot hope,
             doubt, taste, believe, or remember that thing unless the
             thing and its characteristics are present in mind.
             Teleosemantic theories are diverse range of answers on how
             do minds and brains represent things and what is these
             reference to these contents? But each teleosemantic theory
             maintains that the answer involves a normative and
             teleological notion of function, or in other words a notion
             of function that underwrites talk of malfunction and that is
             construed as a notion of what traits or items are for. There
             are a number of different teleological theories of mental
             content. Certainly there is a specific normative notion of
             function that underwrites certain normative notion of
             content. Content is said to be normative because some mental
             states that have content may represent correctly or may also
             misrepresent. Teleological theories of mental content, like
             others, attempt to provide naturalistic theories of mental
             content. According to Ontological Behaviorism, mental terms
             have a behavioral analysis. The first analysis is that
             mental states cannot be reduced to brain states because
             mental states are multiply realizable and second analysis is
             that mental states can be characterized in terms of their
             functional role. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights

   Abstract = {Some (eg. Elliott Sober) argue that natural selection does
             not explain the genotypic arid phenotypic properties of
             individuals. On this view, natural selection explains the
             adaptedness of individuals, not by explaining why the
             individuals that exist have the adaptations they do, but
             rather by explaining why the individuals that exist are the
             ones with those adaptations. This paper argues that this
             'Negative' view of natural selection ignores the fact that
             natural selection is a cumulative selection process. So
             understood, it explains how the genetic sequences that
             individuals inherit and that are responsible for their
             complex (and co-adapted) adaptations first arose in the
             gene-pool. © 1995 Oxford University Press.},

   Abstract = {This paper argues that there are response functions. Systems
             can have the function to produce one thing in response to
             another. This has consequences for the kind of
             teleosemantics that can be offered. Contrary to claims made
             by Millikan and Papineau, sensory representations can have
             contents that are determined by the functions of sensory
             systems to respond to stimuli in certain ways. This paper
             further explores these implications and offers a
             teleosemantic and yet informational theory for sensory
             representations. It further offers a solution to the problem
             of distal content.},
