Szaleństwo, a nie metoda. Uwagi o książce Pawła Gładziejewskiego „Wyjaśnianie za pomocą reprezentacji mentalnych”

Abstrakt

In this paper, I argue that, in his account of representational mechanisms, Paweł Gładziejewski should not defend the strong claim that only structural representations are genuinely representational. In particular, his reliance on Ramsey’s typology of representations has led him astray. Moreover, one of the conditions that representational mechanisms are supposed to fulfill is, in its original formulation, too strong and excludes biologically plausible scenarios. Instead, a more pluralist account is suggested.
