If mind is a creature of adaptation, then our standard representationalist theories of mind are in need of revision. For such theories are inspired by Cartesian ways of thinking. They thus conceive the subject of mental experience in isolation from any surrounding physico-biological environment and do not grapple with the interconnections between the world of human thought, feeling and action and the environment of human behavior as this is described by physics and evolutionary biology. Mind is an all-or-nothing affair, that is not coherently integrated with the causal-energetic world of what happens and is the case.
