The aim of the 2019-2020 lecture was to provide a general introduction to the theory of " mental files ", while resituating it within the framework of the debates that have opposed, in the philosophy of language, two conceptions of content: that of Russell and that of Frege. The closure of the Collège de France due to the health crisis in spring 2020 prevented the last three sessions from taking place. In 2020-21, we therefore devoted a second year of lectures to this theme, which enabled us not only to restore the content of the sessions cancelled the previous year, but also to develop certain points that could not have been addressed for lack of time.
