Course Description
This course is an intensive introduction to the discipline of philosophy, by way of study of conceptual issues in cognitive science, focusing on the conflict between computational and biological approaches to the mind. Topics covered include whether a machine can think, the Turing test, the reduction of the mind to the brain, mental representation, the language of thought hypothesis, connectionism and neutral nets, and the question of where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin. |
