In this paper I explore surprising parallels in the arguments between dualists and materialists in the philosophy of mind in India and the West. In particular, I compare the Nyaya School of India with Cartesian dualism and its Western defenders and the Carvaka School of India with contemporary Western materialists.

The brain/mind complex. An epistemological approach.

It is stressed that the brain/mind complex constitutes a monolithic system that functions with emergent properties at several levels of hierarchical organization. These hierarchical levels are non-reducible to one another; they are at least three (neuronal, functional, and semantic), and they function within an interactional plan. From the epistemological view-point, the brain/mind complex uses...

Methods for complex single-mind architecture designs

The implementation of software systems with large numbers of heterogeneous components calls for a powerful design methodology. Although several such methodologies have been proposed, many lack application to construction of single-mind systems. We have employed the Constructionist Design Methodology (CDM) in building several such systems, including an autonomous radio show host. Proposing modul...
