“…Abelson l980; Block 1980, etc., Searle 1980b). Yet the challenge does not seem to want to go away (see Russow 1984;Carleton 1984;Hanna 1985;Rey 1986). Indeed, some have gone so far as to to define the field of cognitive science as the ongoing mission of demonstrating Searle's argument to be wrong [1] (Hayes, p. 2, in Lucas & Hayes 1982).…”

Searle's celebrated Chinese Room Argument has shaken the foundations of Artificial Intelligence. Many refutations have been attempted, but none seem convincing. This paper is an attempt to sort out explicitly the assumptions and the logical, methodological and empirical points of disagreement. Searle is shown to have underestimated some features of computer modeling, but the heart of the issue turns out to be an empirical question about the scope and limits of the purely symbolic (computational) model of the mind. Nonsymbolic modeling turns out to be immune to the Chinese Room Argument. The issues discussed include the Total Turing Test, modularity, neural modeling, robotics, causality and the symbol-grounding problem.

This book proposes a unified view of the mind, which integrates the insights of philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Through a detailed discussion of major theories from all these, and related disciplines, the book reveals fundamental links between these previously unconnected approaches to human thought and experience. The book includes research from studying medicine, philosophy, mathematics, and history, and the authoor of this book is currently a practising psychiatrist and a teacher at the Harvard Medical School. The book discusses diverse fields of thought and the perspective given here should stimulate a re-evaluation of our traditional approaches to the mind.
