Content
We'll be looking at the relationship between language and thought through the following question:
can a machine think?
We'll be asking to what extent and according to what criteria the concept of "thinking" can apply to non-human beings, and machines in particular. This raises,more specifically, the question of the relationship between language and thought: to what extent is uttering sentences
to think? We will explore how this question is articulated in contemporary philosophical debates in philosophy of language, mind, and action, for example in the work of L. Wittgenstein, G. Ryle, John R. Searle, D. Dennett, J. Fodor, H. Putnam, E. Anscombe, etc.
