Brain and computer
the hardware/software dualism
pp. 227-237
Abstract
The early-modern philosophers, particularly Descartes, regarded the mind as the reasoning engine: they overlooked motivation and emotion. The contemporary version of this ultra-rationalist view is computationalism, the thesis that all mental processes are computations.
