Abstract

Abstract A comprehensive and complete theory of mentality, including an account of the nature of consciousness and of cognition, would have to include at least the following three ingredients familiar from classical philosophy of mind, namely: a theory of mind, a solution to the mind-body problem, and a resolution of the problem of other minds. This enquiry has the purpose of providing a summary of the theory of minds as sign-using (or ‘semiotic’) systems and to explain how this approach can solve the mind-body problem (by means of a nomological theory of mind-body interaction) and can resolve the problem of other minds (on the basis of epistemic principles supplied by inference to the best explanation).
