IV 145
Evolution Theory/Dennett/Fodor/Lepore: Dennett sees evolution theory as an "element of interpretation".
Fodor/LeporeVsDennett: but Dennett should not see something as a means of survival that you do not have.
DretskeVsDennett/MillikanVsDennett: that is why most evolutionists are realists in terms of content.
IV 146
Irrationality/belief/evolution/rationality/Dennett: thesis: we must not describe irrational mutations as a system of belief. A belief system that believes something wrong is a conceptual impossibility. Fodor/LeporeVsDennett: the theory of evolution can hardly act as the guarantor for the principle of truth.
IV 149
Theory of Evolution/truth/Fodor/Lepore: if you use the theory of evolution to explain intentional attribution, it is rather an empirical than a conceptual question whether the principle of truth applies or not, but we do not agree with the antecedent anyway.
