Searle's materialism is problematic »
Searle's materialism is problematic
Searle's materialism is problematicâThe biological naturalism & right causal powers claims commit Searle to a form of materialism. This is problematic as we can imagine cases in which the brain has the biological causal powers to understand Chinese, but fails to do so.âFFFACD

The Superneuron thought experiment »
The Superneuron thought experiment
The Superneuron thought experimentâDavid Coles thought experiment (described in the detailed text) which supposes a conscious neuron internalises a map of its whole surrounding neural system along with transfer functions for each other neuron.âFFFACD

Chinese Room argument commits fallacy of composition »
Chinese Room argument commits fallacy of composition
Chinese Room argument commits fallacy of compositionâJust because one part of the Chinese Room (the man shuffling the symbols) doesnt understand Chinese, it doesnt logically follow that the Chinese Room as a whole doesnt understand Chinese.âFFFACD

Man understands Chinese but can't translate to English »
Man understands Chinese but can't translate to English
Man understands Chinese but can't translate to EnglishâOnce the man has internalized the system, he then speaks Chinese, but his English- and Chinese- speaking subsystems cant communicate. He understands both English and Chinese but cant translate between them.âFFFACD

The brain-programming thought experiment »
The brain-programming thought experiment
The brain-programming thought experimentâScientists program an isolated and unused part of Searles brain to understand Chinese. After the operation Searles told he can speak Chinese. He laughs and says Dont be silly. But the explanation was in Chinese! So Searle understands Chinese.âFFFACD
►
The brain-transplant thought experiment »
The brain-transplant thought experiment
The brain-transplant thought experimentâPart of a Chinese speakers brain is transplanted into Searles skull. He starts making odd sounds in reply to quesitons in Chinese. In English he insists he speaks no Chinese; Chinese speakers insist hes fluent and claims to speak no English.âFFFACD

A virtual person may understand Chinese »
A virtual person may understand Chinese
A virtual person may understand ChineseâMaloney is right that the internalizing man doesnt understand Chinese, but there might be a virutal person in his brain who does understand Chinese.âFFFACD
►
The Kornese Room thought experiment »
The Kornese Room thought experiment
The Kornese Room thought experimentâImagine 2 rule books are internalised: one answers like a young Korean man, the other like an old Chinese woman. The fact man cant translate from Korean or Chinese is irrelevant to whether the virtual people understand their respective languages. âFFFACD
