Automata's Inner Movie: Science and Philosophy of MindSteven S. Gouveia, Hortense de Villaine, Manuel Curado, Ivan V. Ivanov, Zong Ning, Federico Zilio, Nath?lia Pantale?o, Nicol?s F.

Cordeiro, Hugo Neri, Judite Zamith-Cruz, Paulo Vieira, Alexander Lazarov, Andrea Roselli, Liat Lavi, Manuel Cebral, Igor F. Mikhailov This book brings together researchers from a variety of fields to jointly present and discuss some of the most relevant problems around the conscious mind. This academic plurality perfectly characterizes the complexity with which a current researcher is confronted to discuss and work on this topic. The volume is organized as follows: Part I introduces the general problems of Philosophy of Mind and some historical perspectives. Part II focuses on understanding the input that the empirical sciences can offer to the theoretical problems. Part III discusses some of the core concepts of the field, namely, perception, memory and experience. Part IV debates human and artificial intelligence and, finally, Part V deliberates about the computation and the ethics of big data and artificial intelligence. The book contains valuable material for researchers in several fields such as Cognitive Science and Neuroscience, Psychology and Artificial Intelligence, and Philosophy. It can also be used as a guide to some courses at various levels, from BAs to MAs and PhD courses of several fields. It is our belief, as it is claimed in the preface by Georg Northoff, that there is an urgent need for a truly transdisciplinary exchange between philosophy and the sciences in order to stimulate some real progress. We hope that this book will become a sound step for such an interdisciplinary enterprise. |
