  • 17. Idealism, Or Something Near Enough Susan Schneider (In
    17. Idealism, or Something Near Enough Susan Schneider (In Pearce and Goldsmidt, OUP, in press.) Some observations: 1. Mathematical entities do not come for free. There is a field, philosophy of mathematics, and it studies their nature. In this domain, many theories of the nature of mathematical entities require ontological commitments (e.g., Platonism). 2. Fundamental physics (e.g., string theory, quantum mechanics) is highly mathematical. Mathematical entities purport to be abstract—they purport to be non-spatial, atemporal, immutable, acausal and non-mental. (Whether they truly are abstract is a matter of debate, of course.) 3. Physicalism, to a first approximation, holds that everything is physical, or is composed of physical entities. 1 As such, physicalism is a metaphysical hypothesis about the fundamental nature of reality. In Section 1 of this paper, I urge that it is reasonable to ask the physicalist to inquire into the nature of mathematical entities, for they are doing heavy lifting in the physicalist’s approach, describing and identifying the fundamental physical entities that everything that exists is said to reduce to (supervene on, etc.). I then ask whether the physicalist in fact has the resources to provide a satisfying account of the nature of these mathematical entities, given existing work in philosophy of mathematics on nominalism and Platonism that she would likely draw from. And the answer will be: she does not. I then argue that this deflates the physicalist program, in significant ways: physicalism lacks the traditional advantages of being the most economical theory, and having a superior story about mental causation, relative to competing theories.

  • Living in a Matrix, She Thinks to Herself
    y most accounts, Susan Schneider lives a pretty normal life. BAn assistant professor of LIVING IN philosophy, she teaches classes, writes academic papers and A MATrix travels occasionally to speak at a philosophy or science lecture. At home, she shuttles her daughter to play dates, cooks dinner A PHILOSOPHY and goes mountain biking. ProfESSor’S LifE in Then suddenly, right in the middle of this ordinary American A WEB OF QUESTIONS existence, it happens. Maybe we’re all living in a Matrix, she thinks to herself. It’s like in the by Peter Nichols movie when the question, What is the Matrix? keeps popping up on Neo’s computer screen and sets him to wondering. Schneider starts considering all the what-ifs and the maybes that now pop up all around her. Maybe the warm sun on my face, the trees swishing by and the car I’m driving down the road are actually code streaming through the circuits of a great computer. What if this world, which feels so compellingly real, is only a simulation thrown up by a complex and clever computer game? If I’m in it, how could I even know? What if my real- seeming self is nothing more than an algorithm on a computational network? What if everything is a computer-generated dream world – a momentary assemblage of information clicking and switching and running away on a grid laid down by some advanced but unknown intelligence? It’s like that time, after earning an economics degree as an undergrad at Berkeley, she suddenly switched to philosophy.

Schneider 2007 PSYCHE 13 (1), April 2007 REVIEW OF: J. Fodor, 2000. The Mind Doesn’t Work that Way. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. 144 pages, ISBN-10: 0262062127 Abstract: The Mind Doesn’t Work That Way is an expose of certain theoretical problems in cognitive science, and in particular, problems that concern the Classical Computational Theory of Mind (CTM). The problems that Fodor worries plague CTM divide into two kinds, and both purport to show that the success of cognitive science will likely be limited to the modules. The first sort of problem concerns what Fodor has called “global properties”; features that a mental sentence has which depend on how the sentence interacts with a larger plan (i.e., set of sentences), rather than the type identity of the sentence alone. The second problem concerns what many have called, “The Relevance Problem”: the problem of whether and how humans determine what is relevant in a computational manner. However, I argue that the problem that Fodor believes global properties pose for CTM is a non-problem, and that further, while the relevance problem is a serious research issue, it does not justify the grim view that cognitive science, and CTM in particular, will likely fail to explain cognition. 1. Introduction The current project, it seems to me, is to understand what various sorts of theories of mind can and can't do, and what it is about them in virtue of which they can or can't do it.

  • Panpsychism, Panprotopsychism, and Neutral Monism Donovan Wishon Assistant Professor of Philosophy University of Mississippi, Oxford
    CHAPTER 3 Panpsychism, Panprotopsychism, and Neutral Monism Donovan Wishon Assistant Professor of Philosophy University of Mississippi, Oxford In our endeavour to understand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but he has no way of opening the case. —Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld, The Evolution of Physics (1938) In everyday life, we generally suppose that conscious mental lives are relatively rare occurrences in nature—enjoyed by humans and select species of animals—especially when reflecting on the vast scale of the cosmos and its history. By all appearances, this natural conviction receives enormous support from the picture of the natural world provided by physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, geology, and other branches of the physical sciences. In general outline, this scientific picture characterizes consciousness as a relatively recent product of the long course of the earth’s natural and evolutionary history whose emergence is intimately linked, in some fashion, to the highly complex functioning of the brains and central nervous systems of certain sophisticated biological organisms residing at or near the planet’s surface. Against this background, philosophical and empirical questions about the distribution of minded beings in nature typically concern when and where consciousness and thought first came onto the scene and which highly evolved biological organisms do, in fact, enjoy conscious mental lives. In a more speculative frame of mind, we might wonder whether computers, robots, or other inorganic systems are, in principle, capable of genuine thought and/or experience (see the “The Computational Theory of Mind” and “The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence” chapters elsewhere in this volume).

  • On Susan Schneider's Artificial
    On Susan Schneider’s Artificial You: the twin problem of AI and lab-grown brain consciousness Ho Manh Tung Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Beppu, Oita, Japan November 4, 2020 A recent article in Nature discusses the problem of consciousness in lab-grown cerebral organoids (Reardon, 2020). In the case of lab-grown brains, it seems very intuitively likely that they will become conscious once certain level of mass is achieved. In the case of artificial intelligence (AI), given their non-biological nature, it is harder to imagine how AI can become conscious. There is no better place to start educating yourself about the problem of AI consciousness than Susan Schneider’s Artificial You: AI and the future of your mind (2019). The book starts with classifying two mainstream positions regarding AI consciousness: biological naturalism and techno-optimism. Biological naturalism views consciousness is an intrinsic property of biological systems and it is impossible to replicate it in non-biological systems like machines or computers, roughly speaking. Techno-optimism is the view held by many contemporary AI experts, who think that given that most, if not all, processes in the brain are computational, our technological and scientific advances will eventually deliver AI consciousness. Then Schneider proposes the middle way: The wait-and-see approach, in which, she recognizes the validity of the arguments of both sides, yet, whether we will have conscious AI will depend on so many unknown unknowns: political changes, PR disasters, and most important of all, scientific discoveries. That means being totally committed to one side is a mistake.

  • The Metaphysics of Uploading
    Joseph Corabi and Susan Schneider The Metaphysics of Uploading Introduction Metaphysics is a matter of life and death. When it comes to making a decision about whether to upload when the singularity hits, the devil is in the metaphysical details about the nature of substance and proper- ties, or so we’ll urge. An upload is a creature that has its thoughts and sensations transferred from a physiological basis in the brain to a com- putational basis in computer hardware. An upload could have a virtual or simulated body or even be downloaded into an android body — indeed, an upload could even primarily exist in the digital world, and merely occupy an android body when needed. Imagine life as an upload. From a scheduling perspective, things are quite convenient: on Monday at 6pm, you could have an early din- ner in Rome; by 7:30pm, you could be sipping wine nestled in the hills of the Napa Valley; you need only rent a suitable android in each locale. Airports are a thing of the past for you. Bodily harm matters lit- tle — you just pay a fee to the rental company when your android is injured or destroyed. Formerly averse to risk, you find yourself skydiving for the first time in your life. You climb Everest. You think: if I continue to diligently back-up, I can live forever. What a surpris- ing route to immortality. But wait! Metaphysics is not on your side. As we’ll now explain, the philosophical case for surviving uploading is weak. When you upload, you are probably dying.
