The evolution of the language of thought

Summary/Abstract: In 1975 Jerry Fodor published The Language of Thought. In 2011 its continuation appeared. The purpose of this article is to examine whether the new conception of the language of thought differs from the previous one. The article presents the current assumptions of the Representational Theory of Mind and their implications for conceptual atomism and nativism. These are compared with the material contained in LOT2 where Fodor not only reinforces his previous claims, but also sharply criticizes pragmatism and adds an important element to the RTM, nonconceptual representation.
