Abstract

The Language of Thought (LOT) is closely associated with the work of Jerry Fodor. He defended the idea in his book, The Language of Thought(1975), and continued to do so, with relatively minor revisions, throughout his career. Susan Schneider’s book does not aim to be an exegesis or defence of Fodor. Instead, it offers an alternative to Fodor’s version of LOT that she says is an improvement and a worthy replacement.
