Książka używana. Stan: 5 / 5-. Opis: Cognitive science, writes Johnson-Laird, "tries to elucidate the workings of the mind by treating them as computations." This is no simplistic "man is a machine" approach, however; the author is well read in a number of disciplines, including philosophy, and he admits that there "may be aspects of the mind that lie outside scientific explanation." The "theory of computability," used to model mental processes, is here used to explain vision, learning, memory, emotion, etc. Philosophers will object that the project is fundamentally misconceived; that remains to be seen, but for now the approach has implications for cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
