Why isn't Stich an ElimiNativist about Innate Ideas?

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

[First paragraph]. In 1975, and as usual scratching where it itches, Steve Stich published Innate Ideas, a collection of philosophical papers illustrating and analyzing the varied roles of the concept of innateness in philosophical psychology. In the thirty years since then, the idea of the innate has flourished in both popular and academic writings. Not only has it received a fair amount of use (think Chomsky and Pinker; think Fodor; think Herrnstein and Murray; think the New York Times' 'Science Times' every other Tuesday), it has also occasioned a good deal of mention, particularly in the last twenty or so years, as philosophers, biologists and psychologists have sought to develop a more precise understanding of what innateness is.
