Mechanical bodies, computational minds : artificial intelligence from automata to cyborgs

Bringing together scholars from varying backgrounds, this text examines the fundamental questions that are presented by the concept of artificial intelligence. It also suggests that technical advances could hold the key to more traditional questions, such as explaining the true nature of human rationality
