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
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"?

(I think Dewey is already well integrated and recognized via the traditions of functional psychology, and I am not sure what else we can learn by going back to him. Phenomenology seems more promising to me as a source for undervalued perspectives.)

That's a tricky question, re: "soft" material, specifically where things similar to Dewey and MP are concerned. I'm not sure you can get a "hard" account of mind that involves the social that doesn't fray at the edges, but it's worth looking into.
