项目摘要

Comparing connectionism with classical computationalism, we attempted to make clear of the philosophical significance of connectionism. By scrutinizing the use of the notion of "distributed representation" in connectionists' explanations of cognitive activities, Hattori argued that really "distributed representations" were not representations at all. Mino showed that connectionism and classical computationalism shared representationalism, while the two positions differed as to whether classical computationalism was right or not. Kaneko argued that dynamical systems approach was not appropriate in explaining cognitive activities. Shibata showed, with some reservations, that in the future folk psychology could be replaced by cognitive science and neurophysioiogy. Kashiwabata defended the reality of propositional attitudes. He argued that there was a logical gap between the claim that there was no brain state corresponding to a propositional attitude and the claim that really propositional attitudes did not exist. Todayama discussed the disappearance theory (or eliminative materialism). According to him, we have to study the notion of "reduction" more carefully in order to evaluate disappearance theorists' claim. Referring to the examples found in past scientific revolutions and the like, Yokoyama claimed that we had to see connectionism in a more broader perspective of our world. Ohsawa claimed that natural language was not only one kind of object which had syntactic structure. He asserted that picture images had a kind of syntactic structure and representative functions, and proposed a new logic which these images followed.

通过对联结主义与经典计算主义的比较，试图阐明联结主义的哲学意义。通过仔细研究联结主义者对认知活动的解释中“分布式表征”概念的使用，服部认为真正的“分布式表征”根本不是表征。米诺表明，联结主义和古典计算主义共享的代表，而这两个立场不同，是否古典计算主义是正确的或不。Kaneko认为，动力系统的方法是不适合解释认知活动。柴田带着一些保留意见表明，在未来，民间心理学可能会被认知科学和神经生理学所取代。柏端为命题态度的现实性进行了辩护。他认为，在主张不存在与命题态度相对应的大脑状态和主张真正的命题态度不存在之间存在逻辑差距。今天山讨论了消失理论（或消除唯物主义）。根据他的说法，我们必须更仔细地研究“还原”的概念，以评估消失理论家的主张。在提到过去科学革命中发现的例子时，横山声称我们必须从更广阔的视角看待我们的世界。大泽认为，自然语言不是一种具有句法结构的客体。他主张图像具有一种句法结构和表征功能，并提出了图像所遵循的新逻辑。
