Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dominated by the 'Basic Model' that the mind stands to the brain as the program stands to the computer. This conception that the theory of computability defines the boundaries of thought can be sustained only if the mental processes of human beings operate in the same fashion as do the programs of computers. The standard conception and the Basic Model are subjected to a thorough critique in this book, which offers evidence that the Basic Model is irretrievably flawed and that the standard conception has to be rejected.
