If Turing's major accomplishment in ‘On Computable Numbers' was to expose the epistemological premises built into formalism, his main achievement in the 1940s was to recognize the extent to which this outlook both harmonized with and extended contemporary psychological thought. Turing sought to synthesize these diverse mathematical and psychological elements so as to forge a union between ‘embodied rules' and ‘learning programs'. Through their joint service in the Mechanist Thesis each would validate the other: and the frameworks from whence each derived. In this paper I will try to show how Turing's psychological thesis forces us to reassess the consequences of establishing AI on the epistemological foundation that underlies behaviourism. © Oxford University Press Articles nationallicence Philosophia Mathematica Oxford University Press 3/1(1995-01), 52-85 0031-8019 3:1<52 1995 3 philmat https://doi.org/10.1093/philmat/3.1.52 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/philmat/3.1.52 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- SHANKER STUART Department of Philosophy, Atkinson College, York University North York, Ontario M3J 1P3, Canada NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Philosophia Mathematica Oxford University Press 3/1(1995-01), 52-85 0031-8019 3:1<52 1995 3 philmat Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
