Mind design is the endeavor to understand mind (thinking, intellect) in terms of its design (how it is built, how it works). Unlike traditional empirical psychology, it is more oriented toward the "how" than the "what." An experiment in mind design is more likely to be an attempt to build something

โฆ Synopsis
Mind Design II was my first serious introduction to artificial intelligence and the issues surrounding work in this multi-disciplinary area. I found it both accessible and enlightening. That being said, it is by no means a completely light read for newcomers, and it is important to invest time into thinking about the key discussion points of the book (connectionism (NFAI) vs. GOFAI, symbolism, representation, etc.). My only complaint with the book is that it is hard to tell the difference between what is current and what isn't (Turing's essay, for instance), and the fact that it was published in 1997 doesn't make it any easier. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the philosophy and science of "mind design."
