 Fodor’s argument convinced many researchers that CCTM+FSC decisively advances our understanding of the mind’s relation to the physical world. But not everyone agrees that CCTM+FSC adequately integrates semantics into the causal order. A common worry is that the formal syntactic picture veers dangerously close to epiphenomenalism (Block 1990; Kazez 1994). Pre-theoretically, semantic properties of mental states seem highly relevant to mental and behavioral outcomes. For example, if I form an intention to walk to the grocery store, then the fact that my intention concerns the grocery store rather than the post office helps explain why I walk to the grocery store rather than the post office. Burge (2010) and Peacocke (1994) argue that cognitive science theorizing likewise assigns causal and explanatory importance to semantic properties. The worry is that CCTM+FSC cannot accommodate the causal and explanatory importance of semantic properties because it depicts them as causally irrelevant: formal syntax, not semantics, drives mental computation forward. Semantics looks epiphenomenal, with syntax doing all the work (Stich 1983).
