                  HAS REPRESENTATION BEEN NATURALIZED?

Physicalism either denies or denigrates beliefs, by  maintaining  either
that  there  are  no beliefs or that beliefs are identical with physical
states.  Baker's book gives close examination of each of these proposals
in turn, concluding that they come up short.  One of the most subtle and
influential proponents of physicalism is Jerry Fodor.  At  the  American
Philosophical  Association  meetings in December 1988, Baker read a cri-
tique of Fodor's book _Psychosemantics_, with Fodor giving a reply.  The
paper  she  will  read  here  is  a revision of her APA paper that takes
Fodor's reply into account.
