The aim of this Profile is to introduce the reader to some of Jerry Fodor's main contributions to the current philosophical-scientific debate. The presentation is divided in two main thematic sections: one devoted to Fodor's conception of the nature of the mind, its processes and states, and one focussed on the issue of the semantics of mental representations. The two sections are preceded by a biographical sketch and followed by a critical assessment of Fodor's intellectual legacy.
