| Abstract |
We argue that A. Damasio’s (1994) Somatic Marker hypothesis can
explain why humans don’t generally suffer from the frame
problem, arguably the greatest obstacle facing the Computational
Theory of Mind. This involves showing how humans with damaged
emotional centers are best understood as actually suffering from
the frame problem. We are then able to show that, paradoxically,
these results provide evidence for the Computational Theory of
Mind, and in addition call into question the very distinction
between easy and hard problems in the contemporary philosophy
of mind.
