Connectionism, Concepts, and Folk Psychology Summary

Connectionism, Concepts, and Folk Psychology: The Legacy of Alan Turing, Volume 2 by Andy Clark (Professor of Philosophy and Director of PhilosophyNeurosciencePsychology Program, Professor of Philosophy and Director of PhilosophyNeurosciencePsychology Program, University of Washington, St Louis, Missouri)

This is the second of two volumes of essays in commemoration of Alan Turing; it celebrates his intellectual legacy within the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. A distinguished international cast of contributors focus on the relationship beteen a scientific, computational image of the mind and a common-sense picture of the mind as an inner arena populated by concepts, beliefs, intentions, and qualia. Topics covered include the causal potency of folk- psychological states, the connectionist reconception of learning and concept formation, the understanding of the notion of computation itself, and the relation between philosophical and psychological theories of concepts.
