Críticas

Searle fans will not be disappointed ... The editors have produced a genuinely interdisciplinary volume, which should stand for some time as the book to read on the Chinese room argument. John Preston has also written an excellent introduction, so newcomers to the debate will find themselves well prepared for the essays which follow. (The Philosophers' Magazine)

Produced to mark the 21st birthday of the Chinese Room and bears witness to the argument's continuing fascination ... kicks off with an excellent introduction ... This is an excellent gathering of scholars. (Times Higher Education Supplement)

Reseña del editor

The most famous challenge to the aims of cognitive science and artificial intelligence is the philosopher John Searle's 1980 'Chinese Room' argument. Searle argued that the fact that machines can be devised to respond to input with the same output that a mind would give does not mean that mind and machine are doing the same thing: for the latter lacks understanding. Nineteen specially written essays by leading scientists and philosophers assess, renew, and respond to this crucial challenge―fascinating reading for anyone interested in minds and computers.
