The human mind presents itself as an object of study
which dovetails a rational and a physical nature.
Víctor M. Verdejo examines in this book both
dimensions of the mind by elucidating the
distinctive and common features of a genuinely
philosophical and a genuinely empirical approach.
The target philosophical theory, based upon
neo-Fregean developments, is the one that
constitutively appeals to the notion of rationality
and that works within what is called the Rationality
Framework (RF). The target empirical theory,
celebrated in cognitive science, is the Language of
Thought Hypothesis (LOT). At the heart of both
theories there is the assumption of realism about
mental states and the categories of folk psychology,
and they can be seen as providing (rationalist and
empirical) articulations of the view that
folk-psychological explanation is of a legitimate
kind. According to Verdejo's proposal, a correct
analysis of these theories ultimately shows the
possibility of a unifying picture of the mind, one in
which philosophical research on nonmechanical
rationality and empirical research on mechanical
mental processes go very much hand in hand.
