Abstract
The philosophical analysis of the qualitative may serve as the basis for carrying out qualitative applied ontology and, consequently, it would permit a more accurate representation of human actions and natural language, which would be useful in performing complex tasks. However, in the debate within contemporary philosophy of mind, the dimension of the qualitative states (qualia) represents a hard problem and is reputed to be in principle insoluble. The problem is closely connected to the irreducibility of the qualitative dimension to physical-neuronal or functional states, and to the consequent establishment of a “logic” which sees the qualitative dimension as inevitably residual in relation to the formal and computational dimension. This logic is defined here as a “logic of the residue”. This chapter is intended as a reconsideration of the relationship between the computational theory of the mind and its qualitative procedures.The perspective of computational mind is here replaced by an adaptive and common sense computational model, able to incorporate the performative aspect of linguistic use and, in a consistent way, to take account of social context, emotional intelligence, flexibility, openness and adaptability to the environment. 19 dimension by analyzing the notion of effective procedure and the more gen20 eral notion of information. The notion of procedure is a complex one, capable 21 of incorporating closed or computational procedures, open quantitative proce22 dures and open qualitative proceduresI documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
