  • Does Kripke’s Argument Against Functionalism Undermine the Standard View of What Computers Are?
    Jeff Buechner
    Minds and Machines 28 (3): 491-513. 2018.
    Kripke’s argument against functionalism extended to physical computers poses a deep philosophical problem for understanding the standard view of what computers are. The problem puts into jeopardy the definition in the standard view that computers are physical machines for performing physical computations. Indeed, it is entirely possible that, unless this philosophical problem is resolved, we will never have a good understanding of computers and may never know just what they are.
  • The Meta-Problem of Consciousness
    David Chalmers
    Journal of Consciousness Studies 25 (9-10): 6-61. 2018.
