John Searle Searle (1979) offers a treatment of metaphor from the perspective of speech act theory, in which a statement possesses both a Speaker Utterance Meaning (SUM) and a Literal Sentence Meaning (LSM). In this model, the SUM of a statement is that meaning the speaker wishes to convey to the hearer, while the LSM is that meaning to be found by analysing the truth conditions of the sentence, independent of the speaker's intentionality. A statement is thus `literal' whenever the SUM and LSM are the same, i.e., the speaker both means what he says and says what he means. A metaphorical utterance, however, as with other rhetorical devices such as irony and hyperbolae, exhibits a rift between SUM and LSM, which is reconciled by the hearer via the construction of a figurative interpretation. When adhering to the social contract that underlies a conversation, the speaker will normally endeavour to minimise the conceptual distance between LSM and SUM, inasmuch as he wishes to be understood by the hearer (this consideration is embodied in the Gricean `Principle of Co- operation' , discussed in Coulthard 1985). From this speech act perspective, literal truth can be viewed as a form of semantic `honesty' or `plainness', that is, the hearer believes the speaker to mean what he says, and thus to say what he means in as co-operative a fashion as possible. Consider, for example, the statement

Home Essays Interviews Programs ... Search Search: John Searle John Searle, Professor of Philosophy at Berkeley, is best known for his famous "Chinese Room" Analogy. The analogy goes like this: Dr. Searle is in a large room with two holes marked I (Input) and O (Output). From the 'I' box, he gets handed questions written in Chinese kanji . Also in his room is a huge book with English instructions as to how to look up the answers and write them on a piece of paper to the Chinese questions - therefore, practicalities aside, he could look up any question and give the right answer. Searle says this is analogous to computers running NLP programs — just because they input the correct answer given an input, no matter how complicated the algorithm, it does not constitute understanding The analogy has been a huge area of debate for the twenty years prior to Dr. Searle first publishing his paper on it. Generation5 is very proud to have had the chance to interview him. 1.) Your 'Chinese Room' analogy is probably the singly most talked-about subject in the philosophical side of Artificial Intelligence. Did you ever think it would have such an impact? I knew when I originally formulated the Chinese Room Argument that it was decisive against what I call "Strong Artificial Intelligence", the theory that says the right computer program in any implementation whatever, would necessarily have mental contents in exactly the same sense that you and I have mental contents. The Chinese Room Argument refutes the view that the implemented computer program, regardless of the physics of the implementing medium, is sufficient, by itself to guarantee mental contents. I did not think it would receive the amount of attention it did. What I expected, in so far as I had any expectation at all, is that the people who could appreciate its force would simply accept it, and the people who for one reason or another did not want to face the issue would simply avoid it. What I did not anticipate is that there would be twenty years of continuing debate.

Searle tiene sus propias ideas sobre qué es la consciencia y sobre si una máquina podría llegar a ser consciente. En este libro no sólo expone sus tesis, a las que llegaré en un momento, sino que las enfrenta y compara con las opiniones de otros influyentes miembros de la comunidad de pensadores sobre la consciencia y la inteligencia artificial. El valor y el interés del libro es, por tanto, doble. En principio porque Searle expone sus propios planteamientos y argumentos con claridad y precisión lo que ayuda a entender las consecuencias de sus ideas y las de sus críticos. Y por otro, porque sirve de resumen clarificador de las ideas de otros, que se benefician, y uno sospecha que en ocasiones bastante a regañadientes, de la claridad expositiva del autor.

Is the Brain a Digital Computer? John R. Searle I. Introduction. Strong AI, Weak AI and Cognitivism. Let us begin our investigation of this claim by distinquishing three questions: Is the brain a digital computer? Is the mind a computer program? Can the operations of the brain be simulated on a digital computer? I will be addressing 1 and not 2 or 3. I think 2 can be decisively answered in the negative. Since programs are defined purely formally or syntactically and since minds have an intrinsic mental content, it follows immediately that the program by itself cannot constitute the mind. The formal syntax of the program does not by itself guarantee the presence of mental contents. I showed this a decade ago in the Chinese Room Argument (Searle,1980). A computer, me for example, could run the steps in the program for some mental capacity, such as understanding Chinese, without understanding a word of Chinese. The argument rests on the simple logical truth that syntax is not the same as, nor is it by itself sufficient for, semantics. So the answer to the second question is obviously "No". One might think that this question would lose much of its interest if question 2 receives a negative answer. That is, one might suppose that unless the mind is a program, there is no interest to the question whether the brain is a computer. But that is not really the case. Even for those who agree that programs by themselves are not constitutive of mental phenomena, there is still an important question: Granted that there is more to the mind than the syntactical operations of the digital computer; nonetheless, it might be the case that mental states are

Searle, John - (b. 1932, Denver, CO; Ph.D. philosophy, Oxford; currently Professor of Philosophy, UC Berkeley.) In philosophy of mind, Searle is known for his critique of computationalism, his theory of intentionality, and his work on the problem of consciousness. See Chinese room intentionality ; intention-in- action; aspectual shape ; prior intention; The Background Critique of Computationalism and Strong AI The Theory of Intentionality The Theory of Consciousness ... References Searle took his Ph.D. in philosophy at Oxford, where he studied under John Austin and later became Lecturer in Philosophy at Christ Church from 1957-1959. Subsequently he went to UC Berkeley, where he became Professor of Philosophy. Searle's early work was in speech act theory, culminating in (1969) and (1979). He is credited with having elaborated the theory of speech acts associated with Austin, and with having introduced into the theory original elements of his own, most notably regarding the role played by speakers' and receivers' intentions in constituting the meaning of speech acts. Consistent with the focus on intentionality, his interest turned to philosophy of mind, where his major work can be seen as consisting in three main efforts: a critique of computationalism and strong Artificial Intelligence (AI); the development of a theory of intentionality; and the formulation of a naturalized theory of consciousness. The Critique of Computationalism and Strong AI The best known example of Searle's critique of computationalism and strong AI is his Chinese Room Argument (see separate entry). The main thrust of this thought experiment was to show that the syntactic manipulation of formal symbols does not by itself constitute a semantics. The implications for computationalism and strong AI were held to be the following: first, computationalism fails because the formal syntax of a computer program has been shown not to be intrinsically semantic, and second, strong AI fails because a system's behaving as if it had mental states is insufficient to establish that it does in fact have these states. Interestingly, Searle's assertion that syntax is insufficient to establish semantics predates the Chinese Room Argument and in fact represents one of the main objections to the generative grammar program that he voiced back in the early 1970s (e.g., 1972).

18. Chinese Room Argument [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] john searle's thought experiment is one of the best known counters to claims of artificial intelligence. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/c/chineser.htm

The Chinese Room Argument The Chinese room argument - John Searle's (1980a) thought experiment and associated (1984) derivation - is one of the best known and widely credited counters to claims of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., to claims that computers do or at least can (someday might) think. According to Searle's original presentation, the argument is based on two truths: brains cause minds , and syntax doesn't suffice for semantics . Its target, Searle dubs "strong AI": "according to strong AI," according to Searle, "the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind, rather the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states" (1980a, p. 417). Searle contrasts "strong AI" to "weak AI". According to weak AI, according to Searle, computers just simulate thought, their seeming understanding isn't real (just as-if) understanding, their seeming calculation as-if calculation, etc.; nevertheless, computer simulation is useful for studying the mind (as for studying the weather and other things).

19. Minds, Brains, And Programs searle's seminal 1980 article on the possibility of artificial intelligence.Category Society Philosophy Philosophers searle, john Works......john R. searle. Minds, Brains, and Programs, by john R. searle, from The Behavioraland Brain Sciences, vol. 3. Copyright 1980 Cambridge University Press. http://members.aol.com/NeoNoetics/MindsBrainsPrograms.html

Minds, Brains, and Programs John R. Searle ["Minds, Brains, and Programs," by John R. Searle, from The Behavioral and Brain Sciences What psychological and philosophical significance should we attach to recent efforts at computer simulations of human cognitive capacities? In answering this question, I find it useful to distinguish what I will call "strong" AI from "weak" or "cautious" AI (artificial intelligence). According to weak AI, the principal value of the computer in the study of the mind is that it gives us a very powerful tool. For example, it enables us to formulate and test hypotheses in a more rigorous and precise fashion. But according to strong AI, the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind; rather, the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind, in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states. In strong AI, because the programmed computer has cognitive states, the programs are not mere tools that enable us to test psychological explanations; rather, the programs are themselves the explanations. I have no objection to the claims of weak AI, at least as far as this article is concerned. My discussion here will be directed at the claims I have defined as those of strong AI, specifically the claim that the appropriately programmed computer literally has cognitive states and that the programs thereby explain human cognition. When I hereafter refer to AI, I have in mind the strong version, as expressed by these two claims.
