  1. 1. The Emotion Machine

    Commonsense Thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Human Mind

    Presents a theory of mind in which emotions are not separate mysteries but are different patterns of thinking—strategies built from simpler mental mechanisms—and the mind is a society of interacting modules or agents that switch among many modes and levels of thought; it explains how beliefs, desires, learning, memory, self-reflection and problem-solving arise from combinations of these processes and discusses implications for understanding human cognition and building intelligent machines.
