《计算主义及其理论难题研究》引发了关于计算主义纲领在认知科学哲学研究中的再思考。认知的计算主义纲领可以表现为本体论、认识论与方法论等三个维度。该书将计算主义面临的难题归结为形式系统的意义获取问题,这一策略对计算主义的辩护是有效的,但关于形式系统产生意义的方案还可以尝试一种情境主义的补充。形式系统意义获取上的情境主义思想在认知理解和认知实现等方面也面临挑战。
Research to Computationalism and Its Problems invokes our rethinking to the role of Computationalism in philosophy of cognitive science research. We can analyze computationalism from three dimensions, namely ontology, epistemology and methodology. Research to Computationalism concludes the problems that computationalism faced up to the issue that how formal system can have meaning, this strategy to some extent is of effectiveness to the defense of computationalism. We can use situationalism to supplement the program in Research to Computationalism and Its Problems, and situationalism also faces up to challenges in theory and its practice .
