    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/b/behavior.htm
    
    Extractions: Behaviorism Behaviorism was a movement in psychology and philosophy that emphasized the outward behavioral aspects of thought and dismissed the inward experiential and sometimes the inner procedural aspects as well; a movement harking back to the methodological proposals of John B. Watson, who coined the name. Watson's 1912 manifesto proposed abandoning Introspectionist attempts to make consciousness a subject of experimental investigation to focus instead on behavioral manifestations of intelligence. B. F. Skinner later hardened behaviorist strictures to exclude inner physiological processes along with inward experiences as items of legitimate psychological concern. Consequently, the successful "cognitive revolution" of the nineteen sixties styled itself a revolt against behaviorism even though the computational processes cognitivism hypothesized would be public and objective not the sort of private subjective processes Watson banned. Consequently (and ironically), would-be-scientific champions of consciousness now indict cognitivism for its "behavioristic" neglect of inward experience. The enduring philosophical interest of behaviorism concerns this

    Extractions: Stoic Philosophy of Mind Stoicism was one of the most important and enduring philosophies to emerge from the Greek and Roman world. The Stoics are well known for their contributions to moral philosophy, and more recently they have also been recognized for their work in logic, grammar, philosophy of language, and epistemology. This article examines the Stoics' contributions to philosophy of mind. The Stoics constructed one of the most advanced and philosophically interesting theories of mind in the classical world. As in contemporary cognitive science, the Stoics rejected the idea that the mind is an incorporeal entity. Instead they argued that the mind (or soul) must be something corporeal and something that obeys the laws of physics. Moreover, they held that all mental states and acts were states of the corporeal soul. The soul (a concept broader than the modern concept of mind) was believed to be a hot, fiery breath [ pneuma ] that infused the physical body. As a highly sensitive substance, pneuma pervades the body establishing a mechanism able to detect sensory information and transmit the information to the central commanding portion of the soul in the chest. The information is then processed and experienced. The Stoics analyzed the activities of the mind not only on a physical level but also on a logical level. Cognitive experience was evaluated in terms of its propositional structure, for thought and language were closely connected in rational creatures. The Stoic doctrine of perceptual and cognitive presentation (

    Extractions: Fragment from the unfinished novel: Gather Yourselves Together Preliminary considerations of what kind of traits an android might possess are often discussed by proponents of artificial intelligence in questions of philosophy, and linguistics. Philosophy of the mind is concerned with what the brain is construction of as a basis for how to understand how the brain behaves in relation to external causation, neophysical states and various psychological interpretations of mental activity. Philosophers often categorize theories of the mind into materialism, dualism, and functionalism. In order to elucidate the various possible positions taken by P.K.D. I will discuss each of these in turn. Materialism is the view that the mind is simply a phenomena that is not separated from the brain. The brain is governed by the laws of physics and biology. Materialists believe these two fields can give us the answers of how the mind works and consequently how we act. The materialist's central claim is that the brain and our actions are influenced only by chemicals and the firing of neurons. In short, the material of the brain can have causal power over the material of the world. This view is often espoused by the behavioral psychologists like John Watson and B.F. Skinner. In his article on the mind/body problem philosopher Jerry Fodor puts it this way: "All the talk of mental causes can be eliminated from the language of psychology and philosophy in favor of talk of environmental stimuli and behavioral responses" (p. 114). This material interpretation of brain states makes the problem of causation easy for the materialists to explain.

    Extractions: MATERIALISM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND HOWARD ROBINSON [From: Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy , ed. Edward Craig. 1998 Routledge, New York] Materialism The problem for eliminativism is that we find it difficult to credit that any belief that we think and feel is a theoretical speculation. Reductionism's main difficulty is that there seems to he more to consciousness than its contribution to behaviour: a robotic machine could behave as we do without thinking or feeling. The soft materialist has to explain supervenience in a way that makes the mind not epiphenomenal without falling into the problems of interactionism. 1 From epiphenomenalism to functionalism 2 Functionalism and consciousness 3 Functionalism and matter 4 Alternatives to functionalism 5 Cognitive science and intentionality 6 Materialism and abstract objects 7 Materialism at the 1 From epiphenomenalism to functionalism Would-be materialists in the latter part of the nineteenth century tended to be epiphenomenalists. They believed that the world was a physical machine, but felt obliged to concede that examination of its machinery, however minute, could never uncover nor explain consciousness. Consciousness was, therefore, an inexplicable left-over (see EPIPHENOMENALISM). Materialism in the twentieth century has largely been concerned to provide a more integrated form of physicalism. The attempt has taken 'hard' and 'soft' forms. The identity theory of mind, which emerged from Australia in the work of J.J.C. SMART (1959) and D.M. ARMSTRONG (1968), was designed to cope with both problems (See MIND, IDENTITY THEORY OF). Armstrong accepted that mental states were dispositions, but identified these, not with abstract relations between stimulus and response, but with the states of the brain that tend to be caused by the appropriate stimulus and to cause the relevant behavioural response. This identifies experience with something occurrent and actual as well as with a disposition. Moreover, by identifying the mind with a complex internal neural structure, it allows mental states to be specified

56. Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Compositionality
    Entry in the Dictionary of philosophy of mind, by Ken Awiza.  
    http://artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/compositionality.html
    
    Extractions: compositionality Representations may be said to be compositional insofar as they retain the same meaning across diverse contexts. Thus, "kick" means the same thing in the context of "-the ball", "- a rock", and "- a dog", although it changes meaning in the context of "- the bucket". One might say that according to the principle of the compositionality of representations atomic representations make the same semantic contribution in every context in which they occur. See systematicity productivity symbolicism The term "compositionality of representations" is also used to refer to a putative psychological regularity that is supposed to support the view that there exists a syntactically and semantically combinatorial language of thought. The locus classicus for this argument is Fodor and Pylyshyn, 1988. According to Fodor and Pylyshyn, in normal cognitive agents, there exist intrinsic connections between some thoughts and others. Thoughts come in clumps. This putative fact is the systematicity of cognitive representations. The compositionality of representations says something about the nature of the thoughts that are intrinsically connected. It says something about the nature of the clumps of mental thoughts: the thoughts in the clumps are

    http://www.philosopher.org.uk/mind.htm
    
    Extractions: It is often thought that the main defining characteristic of a person is that a person has consciousness, mind or soul. We are all aware of consciousness (our feelings, thoughts and sensations), however it is more difficult to say what consciousness is. Plato(c. 427-347 BC) thought that what we really are is our soul, and that this soul will survive after death, indeed death is seen as the release of the soul. Plato is thus asserting that soul and body are distinct substances, bodies die, but souls are immortal. Aristotle (384-322 BC) Thought that the soul and the body are essentially related. The soul is not a separate substance, but an arrangement of stuff, or material substance, of which the body is made. As Aristotle once said, "If an axe had a soul, its soul would be cutting" For Aristotle then individual immortality seems impossible. Modern philosophy has developed these 2 themes in a number of ways. Stimulated by Descartes , Leibniz suggested that mind and body only appear to interact: in reality there is no relation between the 2 substances, rather God has pre-established a harmony so that our minds and bodies do not fall out of sync. He uses the analogy of the 2 clocks to illustrate his point. God is seen the master craftsman who has created 2 clocks of such perfection that they always show the same time. Whilst this point of view does not rule out immortality, it does seem that free will can not exist as god has pre-established all possible activities.
