Fodor I 131
Holism/Devitt: irreducible functional and therefore perhaps holistic concepts are common in nonintentional sciences.
Question/Devitt: why should psychologists be concerned when belief turns out to be holistic?
Fodor/Lepore: Answer: one can have a functionalism of X without having a definition of X! For example, one can have a metaphysical doctrine about the supervenience base of X.
