Can science, creator of artificial intelligence and computers, ever truly replicate the intelligence of a human being? Our topic today is intentionality in science, and my guest is Dr. John Searle, a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of California at Berkeley. In a long excerpt from a soon-to-be-published book, The Idea of the Brain, science historian Matthew Cobb expresses doubt about optimism that we will someday easily understand the brain: It is hard to see where we should be going, apart from simply collecting more data or counting on the latest exciting experimental approach. The cult classic Donnie Darko tells a mind-bending tale of high school drama, sleepwalking, and time-travel. Or does the mind exist independently of its bodily component, the brain? “Minds, Brains and Science” takes up just the problems that perplex people, and it does what good philosophy always does: it dispels the illusion caused by the specious collision of truths. Brain science and cognitive psychologists use psychological research methods and principles to better understand how the mind works, from perception to learning, language, attention, memory, problem-solving, decision-making and judgment. Minds, Brains, and Computers presents a vital resource -- the most comprehensive interdisciplinary selection of seminal papers in the foundations of cognitive science, from leading figures in artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. John Searle argues vigorously that the truths of common sense and the truths of science are both right and that the only question is how to fit them together.
