A Dialogue Concerning Two World Systems: Info-Computational vs. Mechanistic
Note:
http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.5001
Publication Type:
Book chapter
Venue:
Information and Computation
Publisher:
World Scientific
Abstract
The dialogue develops arguments for and against adopting
a new world system – info-computationalist naturalism – that is
poised to replace the traditional mechanistic world system. We try to
figure out what the info-computational paradigm would mean, in
particular its pancomputationalism. We make some steps towards
developing the notion of computing that is necessary here, especially
in relation to traditional notions. We investigate whether pancomputationalism
can possibly provide the basic causal structure to the
world, whether the overall research programme appears productive
and whether it can revigorate computationalism in the philosophy of
mind.
