Samenvatting

An investigation about proposed answers to the following questions:

  1. What is philosophy?
    • And, in particular, what is "the philosophy of X"
    • (where X = things like: science, psychology, history, etc.)?
  2. What is computer science?
    • To answer this, we'll need to consider questions such as: What is science? Is computer science a science? If so, what is it a science of? Is it a science of computers? What is a computer? Is it a science of computation? What is computation? Computations are said to be algorithms, so what is an algorithm? Algorithms are said to be procedures, or recipes, so what is a procedure? What is a recipe? What are Church's and Turing's "theses"? What is "hypercomputation"?
  3. What is a computer program?
    • What is the relation of a program to that which it models or simulates? What is simulation? Are programs (scientific) theories? Algorithms are said to be implemented in computer programs, so what is a computer program, and what is an implementation? What is software? Can computer programs be copyrighted, or patented? Can computer programs be verified?
  4. What is the philosophy of artificial intelligence?
    • What is AI? What is the relation of computation to cognition? Can computers think? What are the Turing Test and the Chinese Room Argument?
  5.  What is computer ethics?
    • Should we trust decisions made by computers? Should we build "intelligent" computers?
