This title considers questions such as: can mental content be described in such a way so as to avoid dualism? It argues for a conception of consciousness, mental content and intentionality that is anti-Cartesian in its major tenets.
Focusing upon the rule governed nature of concepts and the grounding of the rules for concept use in the practical world, intentional consciousness emerges as a phenomena that depends upon social context.
