Abstract / Description of output
The main thesis of the paper is that the computational
paradigm can explain neither consciousness nor representational
content, and hence cannot explain the mind as it standardly
conceived. Computational procedures are not constitutive of mind, and
thus cannot play the foundational role they are often ascribed in AI
and cognitive science. However, it is possible that a computational
description of the brain may provide a scientifically fruitful level
of analysis which links consciousness and representational content
with physical processes.
