| Abstract: | We expect the cognitive sciences – in particular, computational psychology and computational neuroscience – to eventually explain how thoughts and feelings represent the world. It is typically assumed that a successful account will incorporate a naturalistic explanation of representational content. I argue that proposals for naturalizing content currently on offer are likely to leave the subject’s perspective out of the picture. I suggest an alternative, motivated by computational practice itself, for accounting for our commonsense perspective on ourselves. |
