Hi Philosophy-Neuroscience twitter! Seems like some neuro folks want to know what the hell Philosophers of Mind (TM) do. I recommend reading these seven papers to start: Frege 1892; Putnam 1975 (and/or Burge 1979); Loar 1987; Kripke 1979; Kaplan 1977; Russell 1905; Perry 1979
What are good social/cultural accounts of philosophy of mind? Most of the contemporary stuff I am aware of is very shallow/fashionable/ideology driven? I’m fond of Castelfranchi and Sloman but neither got very far imho

I tend to rely on John Dewey's account in Experience and Nature, or Merleau-Ponty's account in Phenomenology of Perception. MP's account has been expanded by several recent thinkers.

There has been an influence of MP on cogsci via enactivism, but that paradigm has failed. MP continues to inspire despite his fuzzy epistemology, but I have mostly seen "creative writing", not tangible models come out of this. Can you recommend any material that is not "soft"?
