Chinese Room
STEP 1: Re-read John Searle’s “Minds, Brains, and Programs” p. 417-419 in its entirety. Then, following the template below, analyze the highlighted Chinese Room argument.
• First, in a single short sentence, identify the conclusion (and only the conclusion!) of Searle’s argument.
• Second, in under 250 words, informally summarize the argument Searle presents in support of this conclusion. Make sure to define any technical terms you find it necessary to use.
• Third, in under 250 words, analyze what the Chinese Room thought-experiment implies for the moral questions raised by Andrew Garland’s Ex Machina (2014). It is advisable here to refer to the discussion of personhood offered by Mary Anne Warren in “On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion.”
