Goedel | Dennett | I 602 Mind/Goedel/Dennett: Goedel himself seemed to deem the "sky hook" necessary as an explanation for the human mind. Goedel: certain truths can be "seen" but never proved. (> Proof). I 605 Goedel Figure: it is possible to arrange all sorts of axiomatic systems in alphabetical order. DennettVsGoedel: Problem: how can you find out whether a mathematician proved a sentence or has only made a sound like a parrot? (Behavior). J.R.Lucas, 1961(1): the crucial property should be "to represent a sentence as true". DennettVsLucas: but this faces insurmountable problems of interpretation. Goedel/Toshiba Library/Dennett: "there is no single algorithm that can prove all the truths of arithmetics". Dennett: Goedel says nothing about all the other algorithms in the library. 1. J.R.Lucas, Minds, Machines, and Gödel. Etica E Politica 5 (1):1 (1961) |
