{"product_id":"9789814425629","title":"Aristotle's Laptop: The Discovery Of Our Informational Mind: The Discovery of our Informational Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eAristotle's convincing philosophy is likely to have shaped (even indirectly) many of our current beliefs, prejudices and attitudes to life. This includes the way in which our mind (that is, our capacity to have private thoughts) appears to elude a scientific description. This book is about a scientific ingredient that was not available to Aristotle: the science of information. Would the course of the philosophy of the mind have been different had Aristotle pronounced that the matter of mind was information? This “mind is information” assertion is often heard in contemporary debates, and this book explores the verities and falsehoods of this proposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverview: From Aristotle to the Bits of an Informational Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShannon: The Reluctant Hero of the Information Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillions of Brain Cells: Guesses and Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImagination in the Circles of a Network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhenomenal Information: The World and Neural States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformation Integration: The Key to Consciousness?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Joy of Seeing: Gathering Visual Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Informational Mind: Oxymoron or New Science?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unconscious Mind: Freud's Influential Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAristotle's Living Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophers, scientists and those interested in consciousness and machine consciousness; readers of multidisciplinary books on machine analyses of consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139871129840,"sku":"9789814425629","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814425629_p0.jpg?v=1763690954","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814425629","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
