title: Lost in the hermeneutic hall of mirrors
creator: Harnad, Stevan
subject: Artificial Intelligence
subject: Philosophy of Mind
description: Critique of Computationalism as merely projecting hermeneutics                                (i.e., meaning originating from the mind of an external interpreter) onto                                otherwise intrinsically meaningless symbols. Projecting an interpretation onto                                a symbol system results in its being reflected back, in a spuriously                                self-confirming way.
