Sobre IBD

Mentality and Machines was first published in 1985. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Mentality and Machines - with a new preface and an extended postscript-is a general essay on the philosophy of mind, oriented to philosophical and psychological questions about real as well as imagined, robots and machines. The second edition retains all of the essays from the original book, including Gunderson’s influential critique ('The Imitation Game') of A.M. Turing’s treatment of the question 'Can machines think?' and his controversial distinction between program-receptive and program-resistant aspects of the mind. This edition’s postscript includes further reflections on these themes and others, and relates them to recent writings of other philosophers and computer scientists.
