Abstract
Rodriguez provides an excellent general summary of Pieces of Mind as well as a graphical depiction of the decision tree behind the options I canvas for how to interpret psychological predicates across human and nonhuman domains. I respond to his two main objections: that the argument from analogy isn't strong enough to support Literalism, and that there is a promising non-Literalist alternative that I haven't refuted. Rodriguez also raises important semantic issues that I don't address in the book, but which should gain more philosophical attention going forward.
