The little Barsalou I have read so far has been quite interesting, and I think there are a lot of good points there, even if it is a rather extreme position. The issue of how "concepts" (which is likely a nice suitcase word lumping a lot of discrete or at least overlapping cognitive functions into one blob) originate, either from sensory data or from other concepts, is the most interesting thing in the world to me and trying to think about it from all angles, although quite time consuming, is a fun way to spend evenings. I think that the following response to a particularly-important Barsalou article would resonate with the viewpoints of many people on this list: http://www.vub.ac.be/CLEA/liane/Reviews/Barsalou.htm
