Articoli correlati a The Muse In the Machine: Computers and Creative Thought
Designed for a wide audience, this book claims that the standard approach to human thought is wrong in fundamental ways. The author challenges, in particular, the views of Daniel Dennett ("Consciousness Explained") and Roger Penrose ("The Emperor's New Mind"): first, emotion is a necessary part of thought and so a thinking computer will not be possible until a feeling computer is possible; second, reasoning, logic and analysis are only part of the way we think - there are also other kinds of thinking, such as poetic and religious; third, the nature of thought is intertwined with the nature of art. He also discusses philosophy, psychology, technology, art and literature, in particular the poetry of Wordsworth, Blake, Keats and the Bible.

Examines the full spectrum of human cognition--including creativity, common sense, spirituality, and dreaming--describes the role that emotion plays in these thought processes, and explains how it is possible to introduce emotions into artificial intelligence systems. This book is a work of genius. It's unmissable if you are at all involved in the robotics/artificial intelligence debate. In short he argues that machines will become more powerful but they will never be able to engage in metaphors or similes like a human can. This is where all creativity begins - in the leaps and bounds of imagination where we string together seemingly unrelated things, an idea Arthur Koestler explored in depth in his book, The Act of Creation.
