Could a machine exhibit purposive behavior? Could a machine think? Could a robot be conscious? Could a machine
be
creative? Are human beings highly complicated automata? Are computer (and computer program) models useful in
psychological theory? and — a somewhat more unusual query — What do certain metamathematical results tell us
about minds
and machines?

Philosophy
(Macmillan, 1967)
