The notion of representation is essential for the project of naturalizing the mind and
meaning. One of the key issues regarding representation concerns the possible varieties of
representation: what are various ways of representing? Are mental representations
propositional or image-based, connectionist, analog or digital? How can one answer these
questions in the case of natural cognitive systems? What consequences does a pluralist
attitude to representation have for claims that animals and even plants are capable of
representing?
