What kind of machine would this be? Exactly what do we mean by ‘mind’ anyway? The notion of the ‘intelligent’ machine, whilst continuing to feature in numerous enter taining and frightening fictions, has also been the focus of a serious and dedicated research tradition. Reflecting on these fictions, and on the research tradition that pursues ‘Ar tificial Intelligence’, raises a number of vexing philosophical issues. Minds and Computers introduces readers to these issues by of fering an engaging, coherent and highly approachable interdisciplinar y introduction to the Philosophy of Ar tificial Intelligence. Introductor y material is presented from each of the disciplines which constitute Cognitive Science: Philosophy, Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science and Linguistics. Throughout, readers are encouraged to consider the implications of this disparate and wide-ranging material for the possibility of developing machines with minds. They can expect to develop a foundation for philosophically responsible engagement with A.I., a sound understanding of Philosophy of Mind and of computational theor y, and a good feel for cross-disciplinar y analysis. Features: • A directed philosophical focus • A self-contained introduction to Computational Theor y • Clear and accessible explanations of technical material with abundant exercises • A glossar y of terms.
