#termmax @TermMax Let’s look at the second peak first. The core position of the theory of mind in modern philosophy is well known. Philosophers have, one after another, established various theories of mind under the names “the study of human nature” or “the study of human knowledge,” and broadly formed two major camps: the rationalists and the empiricists. Their achievements in this regard have not only nourished today’s AI science, but have also nourished cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics—disciplines closely related to AI.
As for the first great mountain, the separation between mathematical form and physical reality has in fact already been preliminarily eliminated, because the modern “scientific revolution,” led by Galileo, has— for the first time in human history—accomplished a great marriage between mathematical form and physical reality. In a certain sense, modern philosophy beginning with Descartes can be seen as a sequence of reflections, commentaries, and further elaborations on this wedding. When these explications and the theory-of-mind contributions of the related thinkers are combined, it naturally becomes easy to give rise to a mechanized theory of mind (in this respect, Hobbes is a typical example—see more below).
