[edit] What is this Article About?
Just curious, is this article about the book "How the Mind Works", or is it about actually how the mind works? Ikh 05:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- The book by Steven Pinker. Otherwise the title would be in normal sentence casing (Wikipedia style is that titles only capitalize the first letter in the title). Also, "How the mind works" isn't a very encyclopedic title anyway. -- Schaefer 06:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

- OK, thanks! Ikh 02:11, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fodor?
The bottom of the article mentions a critical review by Jerry Fodor, but in fact Fodor was so critical he wrote a book titled "The Mind Doesn't Work That Way", which probably ought to be mentioned if anyone ever expands this article. 68.195.124.77 03:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] blank slate
i'll leave it in for now as an example of his view, but it's pretty foolish for the only quote in an article on "how the mind works" to be from "the blank slate". perhaps someone who read the actual book could spiff this article up? --dan (talk) 13:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
