Self-perception theory

An empirical proposition is one which has been researched on. Empiricism is a theory that asserts that knowledge comes from sensory experience. It’s a philosophy of science which emphasizes on the importance of evidence. (McMahon, 2012) This evidences only comes about if experiments are carried out. We say that the Earth revolves around the sun is empirical because scientific research has been carried to prove this notion. Scientists and astronauts travel into space or send their controlled…

He brings forth the idea of the body theory and the mind theory while creating two thought experiments to further prove his point that both are necessary. In this paper I will consider what exactly creates personal…

The theory of deindividuation is complicated, and different researchers in the field have very diverse definitions of deindividuation. A few believed the deindividuated state is achieved when a person becomes anonymous and realises that he or she will not suffer the consequences of his or her anti-social behaviour.

In Robots and Minds, William Lycan tries to show that it is feasible that robots can have the same kind of mind that humans do, under the condition that machines are able to have consciousness just like humans. He further expounds this theory by introducing AI, claiming that researchers have already designed machines that can do human-functioning activities (such as reading books, playing chess, etc.) Lycan concludes that all of these actions are considered to be intelligent behavior in human…
