12615	Mental representations are the old 'Ideas', but without images [Fodor]
	Full Idea: The idea that there are mental representations is the idea that there are Ideas minus the idea that Ideas are images.
	From: Jerry A. Fodor (Concepts:where cogn.science went wrong [1998], Ch.1)
	A reaction: Good for you, Fodor. I've always thought that the vociferous contempt with which modern philosphers refer to the old notion of 'Ideas' was grossly exaggerated. At last someone puts a clear finger on what seems to be the difficulty.
