Dreske's Recipe For Thought

We'll be concentrating on
Dreske - A recipe for thought.
(Remember that you the Fodor is also a required reading)

Questions:
1. "Recipe's for thought cant have interpretive attititudes or explanatory states among the ingrediants'. Does Dreske agree with this? What metaphor does he use to explain why/why not?

2. What does Dreske's say some naturalistic recipes look like (see bottom of the second page). Why does he think this is a mistake?

3. Look up INTENSIONAL (note the 's'). What does it mean?

4. What does Dreske think that the link between intenSional and inenTional is?

5. What is an opaque context? Think of your own example. Are intentional states opaque?

6. What does Dreske say re:misrepresentation?

7. The heart and kidneys have what type of natural function? Try to think of another example of this type.

8. What is an ontogentic natural function?

9. What is the disjunction problem? What does Fodor say? What does Dreske say?

10. What is Dreske's recipe for thought? Try to think of an objection to the theory.
