Nicholas Shea offers what he takes to be a naturalistic account of representational content in cognitive science. I argue that the account secures determinate content only by appeal to pragmatic considerations, and so it fails to respect naturalism. But that is fine, because representational content is not, strictly speaking, necessary for explanation in cognitive science. Even in Shea's own account, content serves only a variety of heuristic functions.

内容务实：评论尼古拉斯·谢伊在认知科学领域的表现

尼古拉斯·谢伊（Nicholas Shea）提供了他对认知科学中表示形式内容的自然主义解释。我认为，该说明只能通过诉诸务实的考虑来确保确定的内容，因此它不尊重自然主义。但这很好，因为严格地说，代表性内容对于认知科学的解释不是必需的。即使使用Shea自己的帐户，内容也只能提供多种启发式功能。
