JAUME, ANDRÉS L. Indeterminacy, Uselessness, and Abstraction. Problems Posed by Teleological Theories of Mental Content. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.152, pp.35-52. ISSN 0120-0062.

ABSTRACT Teleosemantics is the attempt to naturalize mental content by resorting to the concept of biological function. The article argues that teleosemantics lacks the necessary resources to solve three problems: the indeterminacy of content, its abstract nature, and the biological uselessness of some of the representations of certain organisms such as human beings.

Palabras clave : mental content; teleosemantics.
