Books like Mind design by John Haugeland

The description of what Jean Piaget discovered with regard to how we as humans might learn, grow and succeed in thinking better as we grow older.

A study on the nature of computational thinking and the assertion of artificial intelligence.

Daniel Dennett's collection of essays on philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence, and cognitive ethology, first published in 1984 to 1996.

"Igor Aleksander heads a major British team that has applied engineering principles to the understanding of the human brain and has built several pioneering machines, culminating in MAGNUS, which he calls a machine with imagination. When he asks it (in words) to produce an image of a banana that is blue with red spots, the image appears on the screen in seconds.". "Interweaving anecdotes from his own life and research with imagined dialogues between historical figures - including Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Wittgenstein, Francis Crick, and Steven Pinker - Aleksander leads readers toward an understanding of consciousness. He shows not only how the latest work with artificial neural systems suggests that an artificial form of consciousness is possible but also that its design would clarify many of the puzzles surrounding the murky concepts of consciousness itself. How to Build a Mind also examines the presentation of "self" in robots, the learning of language, and the nature of emotion, will, instinct, and feelings."--BOOK JACKET.
