Among the list of philosophers who have made the most significant contributions to the articulation and development of the naturalistic program in the theory of mind and language are Jerry Fodor, Fred Dretske, Daniel Dennett, Patricia and Paul Churchland, and Ruth Millikan. With her unwavering focus on the proper functions of our cognitive and linguistic mechanisms as a unifying thread, Millikan's body of work is especially noteworthy for its scope, coherence, and striking originality. Along with her meticulously worked-out theory of mind and language, Millikan has made important contributions to philosophy of biology, epistemology, and metaphysics. Millikan and Her Critics presents a collection of original essays by leading philosophers that closely examine various theories put forward by Ruth Millikan--along with Millikan's own responses to each critique. This thought-provoking series of readings sheds important new light on the views of a contemporary philosopher who has made significant contributions to our understanding of the nature of mind and language.
"Anyone interested in Ruth Millikan's work should warmly welcome the publication of this engaging and thought-provoking book . . . Indeed, perhaps the most important common idea shared by all essays is that, after so many years, Millikan's views are still alive because they are extremely useful tools for thinking and addressing philosophical problems." (Mind, 1 April 2015)
"Millikan will be one of our most enduring contemporary philosophers. This book offers an invaluable perspective on critical alternatives to her theories, and in the process not only clarifies her place in many contemporary debates, but also clarifies some of the more challenging aspects of her work." (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 24 October 2013)
"There is a nice balance between sympathetic and skeptical commentators; and the discussion is constructive and illuminating throughout. The editors have provided an excellent introduction, which offers a lucid and elegant summary of Millikan's views, as well as highlighting the main points of discussion in the book. Moreover, Millikan's replies are extremely helpful in clarifying some of the stickier points in her earlier writings...Taken together, the essays collected here offer an intensive and illuminating exploration of Millikan's views. The result is an excellent addition to the literature on metaphysics and on the philosophy of mind and language." (Biology and Philosophy, 28 January 2014)
A fascinating conversation between thirteen shrewd critics andone of our leading contemporary thinkers on the biological basis oflanguage and thought. Everyone--specialist and beginneralike--will learn something from this exchange. I certainlydid.

Could humans be both thinking beings and evolved biochemicalrobots? Ruth Millikan has made the most sustained, systematiceffort to show that we are both. Introspection can be integratedwith science. This collection is the most sustained, systematicreflection on, and response to, her worldview.
