The uncomputable parts of thinking (if there are any) can be studied in much the same spirit that Turing (1950) suggested for the study of its computable parts. We can develop precise accounts of cognitive processes that, although they involve more than computing, can still be modelled on the machines we call ‘computers’. In this paper, I want to suggest some ways that this might be done, using...

Despite considerable advances in the study of animal sentience, reluctance to credit non-human animals with emotional capacities persists. I argue that this is untenable light (evolutionary) theory and empirical evidence. Humans may differ from their ability reflect on, reason about, deliberately regulate emotions. If anything, however, implies animals’ displays provide a more valid reliable wi...
