Ruth Garrett Millikan, Language: A Biological Model (Resena de Libro‪)‬

Ruth Garrett Millikan, Language: A Biological Model, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2005, 240 pp. Millikan is one of the most important naturalists in the philosophy of mind. She is known as an outstanding defender of "teleological" theories of content, but she also has defended a naturalistic theory of concepts (2000) and a biological account of the nature and development of inner representations (2004). In Language: A Biological Model, Millikan continues with this general naturalistic-biological approach, now focusing on the language faculty and some other issues of interest to philosophers of language, such as the relation between language and thought, the utility of conceptual analysis, the nature of illocutionary acts, and the distinction between semantics and pragmatics.
