Agenda
  • what the World Brain / Mind is;
  • why the one which is now partly developed needs to be beneficial, rather than deleterious, for all mankind;
  • what needs to be done to forestall the development of an undesirable organism; and
  • how groups and individuals could and should help to ensure the former and not the latter.

Contemporary Philosophy of Mind: A Contentiously Classical Approach
  • Rey attacks on the eliminativist and instrumentalist views on mental states such as beliefs and desires that we are subjectively aware of by way of introspection. He suggests that Daniel Dennett is wrong to view "beliefs" as only useful instruments by which folk psychology allows us to predict future human behaviors, and that Paul Churchland is wrong to try to eliminate "beliefs" from the science of mind by replacing them with neural network processes. He defends what he calls "mental realism", taking such mental states as "beliefs" as the basis for an algorithmic description of how human minds work. Based on Jerry Fodor's representational theory of mind, he builds his own version of a computational/representational theory of thought that tries to incorporate and extend our everyday mental experience such as beliefs, hopes, and desires.
