We discuss how this methodology applies to current and future research and address questions that others have raised. computationalism consciousness...

... computation does not amount to eliminating computation—even where explicit rules are eliminated—and that dynamical systems theory does not model the subtle timing of the organism's interaction with the environment in a way inherently superior to computationalist strategies.

...This chapter focuses on the theory of cognition called computationalism, a philosophy introduced by John Haugeland which implies that the mind is an automatic formal system. It discusses the method of differences that responds to how something conscious can have the Nagel property as a result...

... dependence on an environment—and “soft wiring”—the perceptual orientation. One side of the debate goes by the name “computationalism,” or the top-down theory of perception. The second position, called ecological or bottom-up theory, lends itself to the more adventuresome position espoused here...

In particular, a robust notion of digital computers gives substance to theories according to which the brain is a digital computer. Contrary to what some authors...

However, Nietzsche’s brand of this reductionist view is not, at least on a common understanding of the term, a version of computationalism. He proposes instead that cognition...

...Being published as a celebration of the 60th anniversary of John von Neumann’s “Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata,” this handbook attempts to provide a unique reflection on the nature of computational economics and finance (CEF) in light of natural computationalism. We restructure CEF...

It begins with a conventional pursuit focusing on the algorithmic or numerical aspect of CEF such as computational...
