Anti-representationalist approaches to cognition typically claim that cognitive representations should be all but eliminated from cognitive scientist’s explanatory toolkit. Representationalist greeted such a conclusion with the 'representation-hungry challenge', purportedly showing that the Anti-representationalist’s eliminative conclusion lacks empirical support and that representations may even be necessary to account for certain 'representation-hungry' cognitive phenomena. Here, I will respond to this challenge. I will show that, "in the representationalist’s own view", the challenge fails to have any bite. For, given the representationalist’s own commitments, we have no reason to think that representations are necessary to account for 'representation-hungry' cognition, or that the empirical support in favor of anti-representationalism is insufficient. In this way, I mean to dissolve, rather than face, the 'representation-hungry challenge'.
