| This work is a
collection of papers dealing with the problems concerning the relation
between language and mind. It focuses on the recent developments in the
philosophy of language and mind, particularly with regard to the
computational approach to this subject. The computational approach defended
by Fodor and others has changed the very concept of language and mind thus
ushering in a new philosophy in recent years. But, not unsurprisingly, there
has been a vehement opposition to this approach led by Searle and others
which has exposed the limitations of computationalism as a philosophical
theory. The controversy regarding language, mind and meaning between the
computationalists and their opponents is the main theme of this book. Besides
these differing ideologies the book also highlights the general issues
regarding meaning, intentionality,
necessity, a prioricity, etc. which have an important place in the philosophy
of language. This is the first of a
two-volume project dealing with language and mind. This book deals
exclusively with the Western perspective of the problems of language and
mind, while Volume II will deal with the classical Indian approach. |
