Tendencies in Contemporary Philosophy of Mind

Bu makale, zihnin “bir çerçevesini çizmede” üç tane metafiziksel stratejiyi incelemektedir: düalizm, indirgemecilik ve elemeci tavır. Zihne yönelik üç ana açıklayıcı yaklaşımın: işlevselciliğin (düalistik ve indirgemeci), bağlantıcılığın (elemeci olan) ve dinamik sistem teorisi adı verilen yeni ortaya çıkan bakışın perspektiflerini özetlemek amacıyla onların başarılarının bir değerlendirilmesi yapılmaktadır. Sonuncusu, bilişsel bilimin çağdaş formuna ve zihin felsefesine göre en uygunu olarak tanımlanmıştır.

Çağdaş Zihin Felsefesindeki Eğilimler

The paper surveys the three major metaphysical strategies in ‘framing’ the mind: dualism, reductionism, and eliminativism. An evaluation of their achievements is being made in order to outline the perspectives of three main explanatory approaches to the mind: functionalism (dualistic and reductionistic), connectionism (eliminativistic), and the emerging view of the so called dynamic systems theory. The last is described as the most adequate according to contemporary condition of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind.
