books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions.
"Mentality and Machines " -- with a new preface and an extended
postscript--is a general essay on the philosophy of mind, oriented
to philosophical and psychological questions about real as well as
imagined, robots and machines. The second edition retains all of
the essays from the original book, including Gunderson's
influential critique ("The Imitation Game") of A.M. Turing's
treatment of the question "Can machines think?" and his
controversial distinction between program-receptive and
program-resistant aspects of the mind. This edition's postscript
includes further reflections on these themes and others, and
relates them to recent writings of other philosophers and computer
scientists.
