Does the assumption of a weak form of computational functionalism, according to which the
right form of neural computation is sufficient for consciousness, entail that a digital …

According to the Argument for Autonomous Mental Disorder (AAMD), mental disorder can
occur in the absence of brain disorder, just as software problems can occur in the absence …

It is generally acknowledged by proponents of 'new mechanism'that mechanistic explanation
involves adopting a perspective, but there is less agreement on how we should understand …

Cognitive science gives computational explanations of the brain. Philosophers have treated
these explanations as if they simply claim that the brain computes. We have therefore …

Eco-cognitive computationalism considers computation in context, following some of the
main tenets advanced by the recent cognitive science views on embodied, situated, and …

An influential view in (philosophy of) cognitive science is that computation in cognitive
systems is semantic, conceptually depending on representation: to compute is to manipulate …

Abstract Peter Godfrey-Smith recently introduced the idea of representational 'organization'.
When a collection of representations form an organized family, similar representational …

A skeptical worry known as 'the indeterminacy of computation'animates much recent
philosophical reflection on the computational identity of physical systems. On the one hand …

The problem of multiple-computations discovered by Hilary Putnam presents a deep
difficulty for functionalism (of all sorts, computational and causal). We describe in outline why …

We have already delineated some basic aspects of the so-called eco-cognitive
computationalism, for example the fact that computation is always seen in context, exploiting …
