The society of mind
Book • 1986
In 'The Society of Mind', Marvin Minsky presents a revolutionary theory of how the human mind works.
He describes the mind as a collection of simple, mindless agents that interact to produce complex cognitive functions.
The book is composed of 270 self-contained essays divided into 30 chapters, each contributing to a unified theory of the mind.
Minsky explores concepts such as language, memory, learning, consciousness, and the sense of self, offering a philosophical and computational perspective on intelligence.
The theory posits that intelligence stems from the diversity and cooperation of these agents, rather than any single principle or formal system.
