Participants in that revolution, such as Jerry Fodor, reject epiphenomenalism and insist upon the efficacy of the mind.

For example, Jerry Fodor ( 1980 ) argues for narrow content ( although he comes to reject that view in his 1995 ), while David Chalmers ( 2002 ) argues for a two dimensional semantics according to which the contents of mental states can have both wide and narrow content.

This view which can be seen as a view of language going back to Kant and Descartes often understands language to be largely innate, for example as in Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar or American philosopher Jerry Fodor ’ s extreme innatist theory.

Jerry Fodor influentially argues this view, according to which empirical laws and explanations in " special sciences " like psychology or geology are invisible from the perspective of basic physics.

Predicate dualism is the view espoused by most nonreductive physicalists, such as Donald Davidson and Jerry Fodor, who maintain that while there is only one ontological category of substances and properties of substances ( usually physical ), the predicates that we use to describe mental events cannot be redescribed in terms of ( or reduced to ) physical predicates of natural languages.

Jerry Fodor is one of the objectors that believes in folk psychology's success as a theory, because it makes for an effective way of communication in everyday life that can be implemented with few words.
