Ashworth, William J. (Author)
Description “This essay examines the attempt of John Herschel and Charles Babbage to discipline the human mind and speed up the operations of intelligence through a philosophy of algebraic analysis;... The mind was rendered visible and open to empirical scrutiny in exactly the same way as any other object of scientific study or manufacturing site. The way was then open to the possibility of artificially building the same kind of intelligence into a machine.”
