In a compelling defense of the speculative approach to the philosophy of mind, Jerry Fodor argues that, while our best current theories of cognitive psychology view many higher processes as computational, computation itself presupposes an internal medium of representation. Fodor's prime concerns are to buttress the notion of internal representation from a philosophical viewpoint, and to determine those characteristics of this conceptual construct using the empirical data available from linguistics and cognitive psychology.

This book is best in its hardcover edition . The paperback is a photo copy reprint where the type is too small and off side to make for easy reading. So to get a good reading copy one should go with the best quality hardback you can find. In my case I lucked out and found an excellent copy at a very good price. Extremely pleased all around.
