Dear Professor Dennett:

	Many thanks for the reprints.  I have sent you a batch of
reprints and preprints, but here is another one relevant to your
contribution to Ringle's volume.  It is the paper that originally
poses the frame problem.  Since Minsky has swiped the term "frame"
for something entirely different - Herb Simon took him to task
for this - I will consider referring to it as Kant's problem in
the future; if I can bring myself to cover my flanks sufficiently
by reading the relevant part of Kant.

	I agree entirely with your view of the relations among
philosophy, psychology and AI.  The enclosed paper says something
similar.  However, I think that in the Ringle paper and in your
%2Intentional Systems%1, you tend to lump mental qualities that
should be discriminated.  A computer does not understand its programs;
it merely obeys them.
