Two long-standing arguments in cognitive science invoke the assumption that holistic inference is computationally infeasible. The first is Fodor’s skeptical argument toward computational modeling of ordinary inductive reasoning. The second advocates modular computational mechanisms of the kind posited by Cosmides, Tooby and Sperber. Based on advances in machine learning related to Bayes nets, as well...
Jerry Fodor and Ernest Lepore have argued that semantic holism is incompatible with the in-principle possibility of languages that consist of a single meaningful expression. Should the traditional Quinean/Davidsonian holist be worried by this apparently weird possibility? In this paper, I offer some reasons for why he should be. My argument focuses upon Davidson’s account of how a hypothetical interpreter...
