Mentalizing like theory of mind is often not more than a cover term for social cognition that involves reasoning with mental terms, regardless of its precise nature: use of a theory, simulation, or teleology based on practical reasoning. We advocate that research should help differentiate between these options and not treat it as a uniform ability as ...

AbstractWe offer an interpretation of the mental files framework that eliminates the metaphor of files, information being contained in files, etc. The guiding question is whether, once we move beyond the metaphors, there is any theoretical role for files. We claim not.

Mental files, concepts, and bodies of information
SynthÈse, 2017In this paper, I argue that mental files are both concepts and bodies of information, against the existing views proposed by Fodor and Recanati. Fodor argues that mental files are not concepts but memories of information because concepts are mental symbols.

Belief Fragments and Mental Files
2021Belief fragments and mental files are based on the same idea: that information in people’s minds is compartmentalized rather than lumped all together. Philosophers mostly use the two notions differently, though the exact relationship between fragments and files has yet to be examined in detail. This chapter has three main goals.

This paper argues that applying a mental files framework for singular thought to thoughts about specific times could produce an account of tensed thought with significant advantages over competing theories. After describing the framework (1), I argue for the conceivability of treating particular times as res of singular thoughts (2), and the ...

The Mental Files Theory of Singular Thought

Singular Thought and Mental Files
2020Coinciding with recognition of the need for more clarity about the notion of singular (or de re) thought, there has been a surge of interest in the notion of a mental file as a way to understand what is distinctive about singular thought. But what isn’t always clear is what mental files are meant to be, and why we should believe that thoughts that ...

Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2015
The main goal of the paper is to present an objection to the mental files framework. Alongside being representational resources that the mind exploits when having attitudes concerning particulars, many philosophers have explored the idea that singular concepts can serve another function: that of storing alleged information about their referents.

This paper presents the hypothesis that the representational repertoire underpinning our ability to process the lexical items of a natural language (that is, the mental lexicon) can be modeled as a system of mental files. To start, I clarify the basic phenomena that an account of lexical knowledge should be able to elucidate.
