Title: Physicalism, Searle, and the Chinese Room
Authors: Patton, Jess
Advisors: Elga, Adam
Contributors: Kment, Boris
Department: Philosophy
Class Year: 2016
Abstract: Searle believes that the Chinese room argument has shown that the instantiation of a program is never sufficient for understanding in any machine. Searle is wrong and it is logically possible that understanding can be reached through the instantiation of a program on certain machines that have minimal causal power.
