| Title: | Mental Maps | Authors: | Blumson, B. | Issue Date: | Sep-2012 | Citation: | Blumson, B. (2012-09). Mental Maps. Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 85 (2) : 413-434. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1933-1592.2011.00499.x | Abstract: | It's often hypothesized that the structure of mental representation is map-like rather than language-like. The possibility arises as a counterexample to the argument from the best explanation of productivity and systematicity to the language of thought hypothesis-the hypothesis that mental structure is compositional and recursive. In this paper, I argue that the analogy with maps does not undermine the argument, because maps and language have the same kind of compositional and recursive structure. © 2011 Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, LLC. | Source Title: | Philosophy and Phenomenological Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/124454 | ISSN: | 00318205 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1933-1592.2011.00499.x |
