The mentalized interpretation of Frege's sense is one of the signs of the shift in the study of meaning from language to mind.Fodor points out that,under Frege's ontology,meaning cannot be consistently equated with modes of presentation in the theory of concept.Modes of presentation are essentially symbols of language of thought,and concepts should be understood as a binary pair composed of reference and modes of presentation.However,Fodorean structure of concept cannot meet the dual constraints of publicity and psychological explanation which requires for successful communication.Conversely,under the constraint of rational action,if we get rid of Frege's ontological constraints of treating thought as an independent entity and Fodor's mental priority,and fully grasp the triple structure of language,thought,and the world,we can coordinate the relationship between the publicity of concepts and psychological explanation within the framework of activism.
