Document Summary
From there came the hobbes/descartes debate: descartes raises: truth/meaning argument, normativity, purpose, qualia, formulated the strong ai problem as proving hobbes right, descartes wrong. Looked at gofai: revealed new problem of relevance (e. g. the frame problem) Neural networks (pdp: based on rejecting cognition being computation, revealed skill knowledge. How do you get simulation s. t you can transfer the explanation to a machine: foder, turing test. In order to understand the mind, we"re turning to the philosphy of mind to answer descartes directly and address the core issues here. How we treat one is not how we should treat the other . Descrtes looked at this and noticed the pattern: properties possessed by mind are not possessed by matter, and vice versa. So mind and matter are not the same kind of stuff (mental vs material) X matter x x x x extended energy resistance. Something can be both cognitive and not in conscious awareness/experience.
