{"product_id":"9789814616263","title":"The Revolutions Of Scientific Structure","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses two main cultural problems behind the failure of machine consciousness and artificial general intelligence (AGI) projects over many decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first problem recognizes that building a conscious AGI means building an artificial scientist. The book identifies the responsible pitfalls in mainstream scientific behavior and eliminates them by proposing a new operational framework for scientists called “Dual Aspect Science”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second problem arises because scholars involved in machine consciousness and AGI essentially aim to replicate brains with computers. They are demonstrably not doing this, and this failure has been prevalent since the rise of computers. Instead, the book discusses the possibility of doing real empirical neuroscience by means of artificial materials that literally do what the brain does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by Thomas Kuhn, one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, this compendium proposes a fresh perspective on machine consciousness, on AGI and, more generally, on how the machinery of science might need to change to accommodate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsciousness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Route to Normal Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘Normal’ Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Blockage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural Learning Theory for Scientists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ‘Law of Scientific Behaviour’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Biology of Belief: Statement Formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHierarchy, Emergence and Causality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Aspect Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientifically Testing for Consciousness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kuhnian Take: Wrapping Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Consciousness and DAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers, academics, professionals and graduate students in artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, computational physics and nonlinear science.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185301668080,"sku":"9789814616263","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814616263_p0.jpg?v=1763691103","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814616263","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
