Description
Beyond Concepts: Unicepts, Language, and Natural Information by Ruth Garrett Millikan is a philosophical exploration of cognition, language, and meaning. Millikan challenges traditional conceptions of concepts, introducing the notion of "unicepts"—unique, context-sensitive mental representations that function in cognition and communication. She examines how language and thought are shaped by biological and evolutionary processes, emphasizing the role of natural information in understanding meaning. This book builds on her earlier work in teleosemantics, offering a fresh perspective on how minds interact with the world. It is essential reading for those interested in philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and linguistics.
