	Does metaphysics need a theory of content?
		Stephen Stich has argued that when we bear in mind the nature of the debate over reference, this appears to have a radical consequence for the significance of eliminativism.
		Stich then argues there is no way to provide the missing premise: on the one hand, no existing theory of reference does the job; on the other hand, considerations drawn from the foundations of the theory reference suggest it is unlikely that any theory will do the job.
		Stich himself suggests that the proper response to the paradox is to adopt a view according to which ontological decisions are largely political.

	The Theory of Ideology: Bringing the Mind Back In
		Stich 1983 argues that this is, in part, because our everyday (folk psychological) concept of belief attributes beliefs to others on the basis of presumed similarities to ourselves, rather than on the basis of strict identities.
		The problem posed for Stich by the case of hysterical paralysis seems to me to be this: that the explanation of hysterical paralysis seems to involve necessary reference to a folk level concept (contentful, semantic, etc.) operating in a case (mental illness) where an STM approach (i.e.

		Stich's discussion of these matters is very rich; it includes, among many other things, the best investigation I know of the reasons why some theoretical entities are reduced under theory replacement while others are eliminated."--William G. Lycan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
		In the first half of this book Stich, who was at one time a leading advocate of eliminativism, maintains that even if the sciences develop in the ways that eliminativists foresee, none of the arguments for ontological elimination are tenable.
		In later chapters, Stich argues that the widespread worry about "naturalizing" psychological properties is deeply confused, since there is no plausible account of what naturalizing requires on which the failure of the naturalization project would lead to eliminativism.

	Shaun Nichols, Stephen Stich - Mindreading: an integrated account of pretence, self-awareness, and understanding of ...
		Nichols and Stich speculate that the Possible Worlds Box evolved for hypothetical and counter-factual reasoning quite generally, deployed both in planning and in figuring out the likely consequences of events in the world, and that it was then exapted for use in pretence.
		Nichols and Stichâs model deserves instantly to become the main focus of theoretical and experimental attention for all those people who are interested in understanding our speciesâ remarkable capacity for reading each otherâs minds.
		And the first part of this view is one to which Nichols and Stich themselves should have been led, since the existence of a separate perception-monitoring mechanism is wholly unnecessary, even on their own account.

	Varieties of Off-Line Simulation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Stich and Nichols (1992) argued that demonstrating that behavior prediction is `cognitively penetrable' would be strong evidence that behavior prediction derives from a theory or information base rather than off-line simulation.
		If there is some psychological process that is unknown to folk psychology, and if this process affects people's behavior in a given sort of situation, then it is not surprising that subjects who rely on folk psychology to predict how others will behave in that situation will be mistaken in their predictions.
		In a later paper Stich and Nichols (1994) concede that the criticism is a fair one.

	Belief States and Narrow Content
		It is precisely because the intra-world version of Stich’s proposal is too broad that his "narrow contents" fail to determine a function from contexts to broad contents: the same narrow content groups together very different mental states, states so different that they yield different broad beliefs when plugged into the same contexts.
		Both Fodor and Stich want a notion of narrow content which applies to particular beliefs, such as the belief that grass is green or that lakes contain water, rather than to one’s entire collection of beliefs taken as a whole.
		Stich, Fodor, others seem to assume that not only mental states but also English sentences will have narrow contents, and moreover that the narrow content of the mental state of someone who believes p will be the narrow content of the English sentence ‘p’.

	Hon reviews Nichols & Stich on Pretense (2000)
		A key element of Nichols' and Stich's model is the Possible World Box, which is a separate mental workspace that houses pretense representations.
		These are important points because Nichols and Stich spend the remaining half of their paper rebutting alternate models of pretense that more or less share the attribute of positing some predicate "I pretend" (e.g.
		They argue that there is no evidence among their pretense examples (which are representative of many kinds and ages of pretense), especially among younger participants (age 2 or younger) that they have any awareness of a distinction between a "pretend" cognitive state versus a real cognitive state, in themselves or much less other people.

		It is rather rare for a professional philosopher to openly contradict his or her previous work, but that is what Stich has decided he needs to do here.
		Stich's revised position is primarily philosophical, that is, he is concerned with how a tacit theory of reference is being used to support the eliminative materialist conclusion - that there can be no ontological status afforded to intentional terms like 'belief' and 'desire'.

		Stich, as is well-known, has made a great deal out of this tension and argued for a purely "syntactic" psychology by driving a wedge between a semantic individuation of symbol tokens and their narrow functional individuation.
		For suppose that it is possible to say what it is for symbol tokens in different brains to belong to a given type without ever mentioning their semantic properties, and then to state all the laws of cognition that advert to symbol types so individuated.
		I wonder why and how Stich could think that the parallel case of beliefs* with particular symbol types as their objects is immune to the parallel criticism.

	The phrase "mental representation" in recent philosophy of mind is Janus-faced
		The seldom-considered possibility that the two are not the same is in effect raised by an unjustly neglected paper by Stephen Stich (1992).
		Stich distinguishes between two families of projects: giving a philosophical account of ordinarily recognized intentional states, and giving an account of what is needed in cognitive science in the way of mental representations.
		He rejects the standard methodology of the first and criticizes recent philosophy for both failing to distinguish the two and failing to undertake the second.

		In Deconstructing the Mind, Stephen Stich, once a leading advocate of the eliminativist argument that commonsense mental states do not exist, offers a bold and compelling reassessment of this view.
		The book opens with a trenchant multi-part essay in which Stich examines a crucial flaw in eliminativist reasoning.
		Arguing that neither semantic theory nor appeals to principles or rationality implicit in scientific practice can close the gap between eliminativists' premises and their conclusion, Stich proposes that questions about the existence of mental states will be settled through a pragmatic process of negotiation involving both social and political considerations.

		Daniel Dennett and Stephen Stich have independently, but similarly, argued that the contents of mental states cannot be specified precisely enough for the purposes of scientific prediction and explanation.
		Stich takes it to support his view that cognitive science should be done without reference to mental content at all.
		I defend a realist understanding of mental content against these attacks by Dennett and Stich.
