How can the human mind represent the external world? What is is thought, and can it be studied scientifically? Does it help to think of the mind as a kind of machine?
Tim Crane sets out to answer questions like these in a lively and straightforward way, presuming no prior knowledge of philosophy or related disciplines. Since its first publication in 1995, The Mechanical Mind has introduced thousands of people to some of the most important ideas in contemporary philosophy of mind. Tim Crane explains some fundamental ideas that cut across philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence and cognitive science: what the mind-body problem is; what a computer is and how it works; what thoughts are and how computers and minds might have them. He examines different models of the mind from dualist to eliminativist, and questions whether there can be thought without language and whether the mind is subject to the same causal lsaws as natural phenomena. The result is a fascinating exploration of the theories and arguments surrounding the notions of thought and representation.
The edition has been fully revised and updated, and includes a new chapter on consciousness and new sections on modularity and evolutionary psychology. There are also guides for further reading, a chronology and a new glossary of terms such as mentalese, connectionism and the homonculus fallacy. The Mechanical Mind is accessible to the general reader as well as students, and anyone interested in the mechanism of our minds.

非常通俗易懂的心靈哲學入門書。作者主要在探討心靈錶徵的問題（什麼是錶徵，心靈如何錶徵，計算機是否可以錶徵，計算機和心靈的區彆是什麼，計算機是否可以視為可以能思考的機器，諸如此類），用詞非常口語化但也不失嚴謹，舉例繁多且大多例子都很自娛自樂。反正是樂嗬嗬的一本書 :)
评分一半講representation本身的問題，一半講電腦如何處理representation。一些例子很生動。
评分Interesting and accessible!
