Minimal Representing : a Response to Gallagher
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his contribution to this volume, Shaun Gallagher casts a sharply focussed critical eye over positions which claim that action is to be explained, in part, by appeal to minimal representations. One of the positions to come under fire in this way is a view that I developed in my book Reconstructing the Cognitive World (Wheeler, 2005). In this brief response I shall try to defend my own brand of representational minimalism against some of Gallagher’s worries.

متن کاملProject Portfolio Risk Response Selection Using Bayesian Belief Networks
Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...
