逻辑机器哲学是由美国当代哲学家、计算机科学家勃克斯提出的一种哲学思想,它是在信息时代计算机和网络技术迅猛发展的背景下提出的哲学新思维,又是对哲学史上的朴素唯物论、机械唯物论的继承与发展。在逻辑机器哲学中,拉美特利"人是机器"这个受尽奚落的命题成了其哲学思想的基本假定。它使得"人是机器"的哲学意蕴在计算机科学和信息技术蓬勃发展的今天可以得到新的阐释。尽管面临着许多挑战,但它为计算机科学哲学和信息技术哲学的诞生铺平了道路。近年来认知科学哲学的发展,把逻辑机器哲学研究推向了一个新的阶段,其标志是人工生命哲学的诞生。逻辑机器哲学研究为复杂系统科学视野下的人工生命及其哲学的新发展奠定了坚实的基础。
The philosophy of logical mechanism was created by recent American philosopher and computer scien- tist, Arthur Walter Burks. It is a new philosophy that was created in information age against the background of the drastic development of computer science and intemet technology, and is the continuation and development of spontaneous mate- rialism and mechanical materialism. In the philosophy of logical mechanism, de La Mettrie' s concept of "Machine Man," a concept that has been sneered at a lot, has paradoxically become the most fundamental hypothesis. Although it is still exposed to many challenges, it paves the way for the generation of the philosophy of computer science and information technology. In recent years, the development of the philosophy of cognitive science has propelled the development of the philosophy of logical mechanism into a new stage, a stage that is characterized by the rise of the philosophy of artificial life. The research in the philosophy of logical mechanism has laid a solid foundation for the development of artificial life and its related philosophy against the backdrop of the science of complex systems.
