The placement of humanity, not only within the material world but also beyond it as well, has been one of the driving questions that propel humans forward into the new frontier of technology and mental wonders. Humans are corporeal. We touch our skin and come to the conclusion that we are solid. We touch the clothes that surround our bodies. The clothes do not go through our bodies, so therefore our bodies and our clothes are solid. However, since humanity has stepped foot on earth, we have included

Of course, the analysis of Michel Foucault didn’t stay unnoticeable. In fact his work stirred up all sorts of discussions. The author was accused of misreading the artwork, reducing the role of Velasquez as a creator of Las Meninas and as a historical figure, imposing artificial meaning that is not there, oversimplifying the painting and so on. In short, Foucault’s interpretation located outside of traditional art historical approach and therefore didn’t seem legit for many scholars. One of the main

“Can a machine think?” Is a long lived question humans have had? If a machine can think then it must have the same intelligence as a human, then right? If a machine has human intelligence, then does that mean it has a mind of its own? It is desired by many humans to know if one day the answers to all these questions could be yes. In hopes of figuring this out, a testing method was created called the Turing Test. This test was created by an English mathematician named Alan Turing in the 1940s and

irreducible intuition argument does not hold for Searle. The strongest objection to the CR theory from this standpoint is that if the person in the room can communicate with the outside person and be thought of as indistinguishable from intelligence, even though the receiving person does not truly understand that the semantic gap is bridged by a completely formal process, then hasn’t Searle completely reduced semantics to syntax? And if so, it seems that Searle argues for exactly the point he is attempting

Bill Maher once mocked the aggressive nature of the drug advertisements that direct you to tell your doctor that their drug is right for you. “Tell your doctor? Shouldn’t your doctor tell you what drugs you need. When you tell your doctor isn’t he just a dealer at that point,” said Bill Maher. The American public generally trusts their government to protect them from the hidden dangers prescription and over-the-counter drugs. However, that trust isn’t fully warranted as the FDA has been featured

believes computers has the necessary general intelligent action to think. Searle argues against the idea saying “only a very special kinds of machines, namely brains” can think. I agree with Searle’s argument because computers don’t have brains, but are programmed to do what humans want it to do. I disagree with Turning’s argument because computers are specifically programmed by humans to do what we want them to do. Searle thought that computers can’t think because they are programmed and lack the

whether it is possible to compute consciousness, it is first necessary to define consciousness. This in itself is something that scientists and philosophers have struggled with for ages. For the purposes of this paper, the definition proposed by [Searle, 1998] will be used: Consciousness consists of inner, qualitative, subjective states and processes of sentience or awareness. Consciousness, so defined, begins when we wake in the morning from a dreamless sleep - and

to describe and characterize the mind. I will contend my point by first explaining the evolution into functionalism, specifically analytic functionalism. I will then explain one of the most prominent objections, the “Chinese Room” argument by John Searle. Beyond this argument, I will offer my rebuttals for these assertions and stipulate reasoning for analytical functionalism’s rational reliability as a suitable philosophy of the mind. With the decline of behaviorism, the identity theory, or type physicalism

Patricia Searles article published in 1984, even though this article is over 32-year-old, their viewpoint is still a subject that is still talked about today. Mickish and Searles analyze The Ladies home Journal, which first published in 1883, but they pick articles that issued in 1905. Patricia Searles and Janet Mickish are not a historian, but many others have cited their work over the year. Melissa R. Klapper books, Jewish Girl 's Coming of Age in America, 1860-1920 use Mickish and Searle 's article
