Mental fragmentation is the thesis that the mind is fragmented, or compartmentalized. On this view of the mind, the information that is used by cognitive processes is stored in distinct, independently accessible data structures (fragments). In terms of belief, for example, this means that an agent’s overall belief state is divided into several sub-states-fragments. These fragments need not make for a consistent and closed belief system. Rather, an agent may have a number of beliefs in one fragment, while having other beliefs in a different fragment, without drawing connections between these fragments. In this way agents may hold inconsistent beliefs because they are stored in different fragments. This course examines this view of the mind. It studies in depth a new collection of essays that focus on the hypothesis that the mind is fragmented. It explores such topics as foundational issues and motivations for fragmentation; the features common to distinct versions of the idea that the mind is fragmented; how the fragmented mind is implemented in cognitive architecture; how the fragmented mind thesis compares with a rival thesis on which the mind is unified; the rationality or irrationality of fragmentation; fragmentation’s role in language; the relationship between fragmentation and mental files; and the implications of fragmentation for the analysis of implicit attitudes.
