Fodor's

Fodor's argument, often associated with his work on cognitive science, suggests that the mind contains innate, modular structures—specialized mental "machines" designed for specific tasks like language or perception. He argues these modules develop naturally and are distinct from general thinking abilities, challenging the idea that all knowledge is learned through experience. Essentially, Fodor believes our minds have built-in tools that help us process certain types of information efficiently, shaping how we understand cognition and the structure of mental processes.
