Semiotic brains and artificial minds

Lorenzo Magnani

pp. 145-217

Abstract

In chapter one the important role of external representations and epistemic mediators was stressed, when illustrating the concept of manipulative abduction, especially in the field of scientific reasoning. Further insight can be granted by some considerations that also take into account Turing's seminal ideas about human and machine intelligence, some paleoanthropological results, and a Peircean semiotic perspective.
