There's no Art-To Find the Mind's Construction-In Offence

Abstract

The editor invited a comment on this ‘attack’ on Davidson and Noble (1989), but asked me ‘not merely toattack points of detail’. Any careful reading of Bednarik's article and comparison with the works it attacks would show that in almost every detail it lays itself open to such attack. Nevertheless I am grateful to the editor for the opportunity to set out some of the argument that Noble and I have been trying to develop, and that so clearly Bednarik has not understood. There are good reasons why it has not been understood: it is clear from every phrase of his article that our objectives are utterly different.
