Mindreading animals :the debate over what animals know about other minds
A comprehensive examination of a hotly debated question proposes a new model for mindreading in animals and a new experimental approach. Animals live in a world of other minds, human and nonhuman, and their well-being and survival often depends on what is going on in the minds of these other creatures. But do animals know that other creatures have minds? And how would we know if they do? In …

Concepts, syntax, and their interface :the Theta System
A systematic exposition of Reinhart's Theta System, with extensive annotations and essays that capture subsequent developments. One of Tanya Reinhart's major contributions to linguistic theory is the development of the Theta System (TS), a theory of the interface between the system of concepts and the linguistic computational system. Reinhart introduced her theory in a seminal paper, “The …

Explaining the computational mind
In this work, Marcin Milkowski argues that the mind can be explained computationally because it is itself computational - whether it engages in mental arithmetic, parses natural language, or processes the auditory signals that allow us to experience music.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
