Objections to Computationalism: A Survey
Roczniki Filozoficzne 66 (3):57-75 (2018)
Abstract
In this paper, the Author reviewed the typical objections against the claim that brains are computers, or, to be more precise, information-processing mechanisms. By showing that practically all the popular objections are based on uncharitable interpretations of the claim, he argues that the claim is likely to be true, relevant to contemporary cognitive science, and non-trivial.Author's Profile
