| Abstract | The Turing Test, devised by Alan Turing, the forefather of Artificial Intelligence, challenges a person to distinguish between artificial and human intelligence, between a human creation an artifact and that which Aristotle and others have called the essence of human beings. It is a test to see if a person can discriminate between a paranoid human being and a computer programmed to be paranoid, when the only communication is written. The challenge reflects a twentieth century movement of philosophy away from a comfortable certainty that meaning can be gleaned from the experience of an individualistic self to the conviction that reality is not singular, positions are not fixed, and essentialist concepts of human nature are absent, or at least weakened. In place of an essentialist concept of human nature there exists in postmodernist thinking the idea that humans create themselves through their own narratives their stories, their dreams, their myths, their histories, their memories. |
