Description:
The story of the scientific quest to understand how we think, from the ancient Greeks to the newest findings of today. Tells how the notion of the mind as a "logic machine" was invented and became the accepted idea -- argued most famuously by Rene Descartes -- but how the new findings are showing that the mind does not in fact follow the rules of logic.
Expand description
Covers the key developments all the way from the invention of logic in ancient Greece to efforts in the twentieth century to build "thinking machines" that could actually talk and solve problems on their own, to the latest findings that show why no machine could ever think like the human mind.
