Subject: Fodor on Pinker

John Lavagnino has kindly pointed me to Jerry Fodor's very fine, lucid and
typically funny, review of Steven Pinker, How the mind works, and Henry
Plotkin, Evolution in mind, "The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism",
London Review of Books, <http://www.lrb.co.uk/v20n02/fodo2002.html>, or by
clicking via <http://www.lrb.co.uk/> in the frames version. This is worth
reading for several reasons, among them to see the value of stating clearly
what we don't know -- in fact the value of stating clearly.
