"This book is a comprehensive attack on several of the views that
have been most influential in the philosophy of psychology during
the last two decades. Professor Baker argues that mentalistic
notions should not be eliminated, and need not be explained in
terms of other notions, in 'cognitive science.' The book is
interesting and shows an honest concern for clear argumentation. It
deserves a wide readership."—Tyler Burge, University of California
at Los Angeles
"This book is a provocative and relentlessly argued treatment of a
deep and important topic: the fate of intentionality. Baker's
arguments oblige those who wish to defend the current conception of
cognitive science to rethink the discipline. She has put the ball
squarely in the physicalists' court. ... Despite the technical
character of the topic, the book is wonderfully readable."—John
Heil, Visiting Fellow, University of California, Berkeley
