I would need an essay with clear arguments and counterarguments. I will revise and extend the final paper myself, because i want to work more on it, but I have problems starting things.
The literature to use and quote is this:
Piccinini 2009, Computationalism in the Philosophy
of Mind
Shagrir 2010, Brains as analog-model computers
Shagrir 2002, Effective Computation by Humans and Machines
Pinna, Extended Cognition
and the Dynamics
of Algorithmic Skills, Springer, 2007 (book ch. 4-5)
Piccinini & Scarantino 2011, Information processing, computation, and cognition
I will upadate you with more information very soon, but the idea is following Piccinini, whatever he says exactly, in his view of computationalis, disentangling it from others who confused it. Shagrir is a frenemy of Piccinini, but there are real rivals, maybe quoted by him. Pinna adds a different subtopic to the debate and might be interesting to ss how it interacts with the other. I understand this is a declaration of intent, not an outline.
