Abstract

Michael Tye has claimed that a consideration in favour of Representationalism is that it enables us to adopt a univocal sense of ‘in’ in terms of spatial location. I argue that this is not the case. There is a distinct sense of ‘in’ used to characterise states of objects to which the Representationalist, as much as anybody else, will have to appeal in order to capture what we mean when we say that there is a pain in a finger.
