Yes, the discipline itself cannot be dogmatic, but who represents it theorically can

We could define self-awareness as the ability to pass the turing-test and this is theorically possible from our possible research on machine learning....

And this would be more of eliminitavism about consciousness than a attempt to reduce it to the physical.

Lets give up the information-processing term. They're physical and only physical.
May 05, 2021 at 05:30
Human doesn't have innate knowledge about themselves or the external world as much as a computer(or any physical system) have innate knowledge about a...

I'm an eliminitavist about consciousness. I think human brains conception of what exist or not is skewed and asserts that consciousness exist when the...
May 05, 2021 at 04:45
My argument is such that : P1) Everything that there is to know about a information-processing system/physical object is how it works. P2) Humans are ...

I don't think you can "solve it". This is only a point of view that i find more coherent. We still need to do research on neuroscience though.
May 05, 2021 at 03:26
Yes, i did on wikipedia.
May 05, 2021 at 03:24
Why you assume machines can't have self-awareness ? What do you mean by self-awareness ? I may have a cognitive neuroscience theory that may interest ...
May 05, 2021 at 03:14
We could replace the computer by any physical system you can imagine. My point is that this system self-awareness would be similar to those of a human...

My physicalism is opposed to view that give a special ontological status to first-person view or view that states that surnatural object exist. My vie...

This is mainly revelant for problem such as consciousness.
May 04, 2021 at 21:03
Yes, this is a view that only the third point of view of science can say what exist or not.
May 04, 2021 at 20:58
Ok, i will head there. I would defined physicalism as : A exist if and only if A is a necesary variable of a measurement of the natural science as suc...
May 04, 2021 at 20:47
We could understand physicalism as a scientific realism such as "our best scientific theory of the world tells us as much as we know about reality". W...

So i suppose you aren't a physicalist, it's understandable. But i just want to indicate that the physicalist position isnt incorehent.
May 04, 2021 at 19:11
So something exist if it please you ? It fits the common-sense, innate vew point i described earlier. I don't mean that we shouldn't have empathy for ...
May 04, 2021 at 19:07
Consciouness isnt the variable of anything. This is more ludicrous to say that consciouness exist than say god exist. Atleast the last would have crea...
May 04, 2021 at 18:59
Afterall it depends on what you mean by exist : If you mean something that fits in a human conception of the world, i agree that consciouness exist. I...
May 04, 2021 at 18:35
Consciouness doesnt need to exist if we assume naturalism. Science doesn't have to care about consciouness. It's out of its picture by the very nature...
May 04, 2021 at 17:53
I may have misunderstood pragmaticism myself. The core idea pragmatism is that the object of an idea equates the sensible effects that the object migh...
May 03, 2021 at 12:05
Yes, this is very easy. Don't think in english.
