Stephen Stich

Stephen Stich is a philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. He argues for a "computational theory of mind," suggesting that human thinking can be understood as a form of information processing, similar to how computers operate. Stich challenges traditional views on how mental processes are structured and emphasizes the importance of empirical research in psychology and neuroscience. He believes that understanding how the mind works requires integrating insights from both philosophy and the sciences, particularly in understanding human reasoning and cognition.
