Recenzii
Toon defends his mental fictionalism with brilliant argumentation and a light but lucid style. He offers solutions to pressing problems of mental fictionalism, such as 'cognitive collapse', and proposes a new approach to intentionality that can be reconciled with the extended mind thesis. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the subject, whether they be friend or foe of mental fictionalism.
Toon's project is ambitious; it advocates for a departure from traditional views and encourages future researchers to adopt unconventional and bold approaches.
