The Nature of Physical Computation af Oron (Professor of Philosophy Shagrir
Bag om The Nature of Physical Computation

What does it mean to say that an object or system computes? What is it about laptops, smartphones, and nervous systems that they are considered to compute, and why does it seldom occur to us to describe stomachs, hurricanes, rocks, or chairs that way? Though computing systems are everywhere today, it is very difficult to answer these questions. The book aims to shed light on the subject by arguing for the semantic view of computation, which states that computing systems are always accompanied by representations. This view is presented as an alternative to non-semantic views such as the mechanistic account of computation.

Beskrivelse af The Nature of Physical Computation

What does it mean to say that an object or system computes? What is it about laptops, smartphones, and nervous systems that they are considered to compute, and why does it seldom occur to us to describe stomachs, hurricanes, rocks, or chairs that way? Though computing systems are everywhere today, it is very difficult to answer these questions. The book aims to shed light on the subject by arguing for the semantic view of computation, which states that computing
systems are always accompanied by representations. This view is presented as an alternative to non-semantic views such as the mechanistic account of computation.
