An alternative approach is advanced, inspired by  the work of Charles S. Peirce, according to which minds are sign-using  (or `semiotic') systems, which in turn generates distinctions between  different kinds of minds and overcomes problems that burden more  familiar alternatives. Unlike conceptions of minds as machines, this  novel approach has obvious evolutionary implications, where  differences in semiotic abilities tend to distinguish the species.  From this point of view, the scope and limits of computer and AI  systems can be more adequately appraised and alternative accounts of  consciousness and cognition can be more thoroughly criticised. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership:\u003c\/em\u003e Intermediate and advanced students of computer  science, AI, cognitive science, and all students of the philosophy of  the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402002434\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0973-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 352\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379875627148,"sku":"9781402002434","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402002434.jpg?v=1775732435","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402002434","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
