| Sumario: | A section from chapter 8 of the book "The Columbia History of Western Philosophy," edited by Richard H. Popkin is presented. It focuses on the philosophy of mind. It discusses the three essential philosophical movements which maintain that the human mind is in principle susceptible to scientific explanation, namely, the identity theory, functionalism and eliminative materialism. It notes that one of the advantages of functionalism is that it enables the mind to be modeled by computers. |
