Description: Life and work of philosopher and mathematician Alan Mathison Turing; by Andrew Hodges.
Alan Turing (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Mon Jun 3, 2002; substantive revision Mon Sep 30, 2013 Alan Turing (1912–1954) never described himself as a philosopher, but his 1950 paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” is one of the most frequently cited in modern philosophical literature. It gave a fresh approach to the traditional mind-body problem, by relating it to the mathematical concept of computability he himself had introduced in his 1936–7 paper “On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem.” His work can be regarded as the foundation of computer science and of the artificial intelligence program.
