商品描述
Aristotle's convincing philosophy is likely to have shaped (even indirectly) many of our current beliefs, prejudices and attitudes to life. This includes the way in which our mind (that is, our capacity to have private thoughts) appears to elude a scientific description. This book is about a scientific ingredient that was not available to Aristotle: the science of information. Would the course of the philosophy of the mind have been different had Aristotle pronounced that the matter of mind was information? This "mind is information" assertion is often heard in contemporary debates, and this book explores the verities and falsehoods of this proposition.
Readership: Philosophers, scientists and those interested in consciousness and machine consciousness; readers of multidisciplinary books on machine analyses of consciousness.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
亞里士多德的說服力哲學可能已經塑造了(甚至是間接地)我們當前的許多信念、偏見和生活態度。這包括我們的思維方式(即我們擁有私密思想的能力)似乎無法被科學描述。本書探討了一個亞里士多德所無法獲得的科學成分:資訊科學。如果亞里士多德宣稱心智的本質是資訊,心智哲學的發展會不會有所不同?這種「心智即資訊」的主張在當代辯論中經常被提及,而本書將探討這一命題的真實性與虛假性。
讀者對象:哲學家、科學家以及對意識和機器意識感興趣的人;對於機器分析意識的跨學科書籍的讀者。
