From the rear cover

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.
