Abstract

The paper examines basic positions concerning the computational model of the mind, and the background assumptions on which these positions are based. It has been ascertained the question of the relation between human mind and computational machines does not concern so much the obsenter independent phenomena in the world, as it concerns our attitude toward these phenomena. Taken literally, mind is not a programmable machine, but there are pragmatical reasons why assign a computational interpretation to it. However, it has been shown that the paradigm established by such interpretation has also its limitations.
