Computationalism - Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Computationalism

The computational theory of mind (CTM), also known as computationalism, is a family of beliefs that may be found in the field of philosophy of mind. These views claim that the human mind is an information processing machine, and that cognition and consciousness together are a sort of computing. Computationalism is also known as the computational theory of mind (CTM). Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts (1943) were the pioneers who originally proposed the idea that brain activity might be modeled as a computer process. They argued that computations in the neural networks may explain cognition. The theory was first proposed by Hilary Putnam in 1967 in its current iteration, and it was developed by Jerry Fodor, a PhD student of Putnam's who was also a philosopher and cognitive scientist during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Although the position was hotly debated in analytic philosophy in the 1990s due to the work of Putnam himself, John Searle, and others, it is still widely held in modern cognitive psychology, and many theorists in evolutionary psychology take it as a given. This viewpoint has been making a comeback in analytic philosophy throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

Rumbles - A Curious History of...

Elsa Richardson

The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
 
 
 
The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
 
 
 
Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
 
 
 
Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?
