Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. xx, 1 leaf, 402 pp; illus. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Reprints 21 papers in facsimile. 'Warren S. McCulloch was an original thinker, in many respects far ahead of his time. 'Of all our contemporaries in brain research McCulloch is the most personal, idiosyncratic . . . he is at the center, the pivot of a whirligig of explosive thinking,' wrote a colleague in 1966. Embodiments of Mind, first published more than two decades ago, teems with intriguing concepts about the mind/brain that are highly relevant to current developments in neuroscience and neural networks. In his preface to this timely reissue of McCulloch's work, Jerome Lettvin notes in particular that among the papers are two classics coauthored with Walter Pitts. One applies Boolean algebra to neurons considered as gates; another shows the kind of nervous circuitry that could be used in perceiving universals. These first models are part of the basis of artificial intelligence. McCulloch, who was a doctor, a philosopher, a teacher, a mathematician and a poet, terms his work 'experimental epistemology.' In this collection of 21 essays and lectures he pursues a physiological theory of knowledge that touches on philosophy, neurology, and psychology: 'There is one answer, only one, toward which I've groped for thirty years; to find out how brains work . . .' Chapters range from 'What is a Number, that a Man May Know It, and a Man, that He May Know a Number,' and 'Why the Mind is in the Head,' to 'What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain' (with Jerome Lettvin, Humberto Maturana, and Walter Pitts), 'Machines that Think and Want,' and 'A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity (with Walter Pitts). Embodiments of Mind concludes with a selection of McCulloch's poems and sonnets' (Web site of the MIT Press, which reissued the book in 1988). 'He is perhaps best known for 'A Logical Calculus Immanent in Nervous Activity', which he co-authored with Walter Pitts. This paper is widely credited with being a seminal contribution to neural network theory, the theory of automata, the theory of computation, and cybernetics. McCulloch was very active in the cybernetics movement' (on-line Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind). Also see T. H. Abraham, '(Physio)logical circuits: the intellectual origins of the McCulloch-Pitts neural networks' (J Hist Behav Sci. 2002 Winter;38(1):3-25).

Book First Edition
A substantial collection of published and privately circulated documents relating to early experiments in AI, including largely unknown research papers dating from around the time the name 'Artificial Intelligence' was coined (c.1956). The collection forms a unique record of the creation of Artificial Intelligence during the early years of computing in the form of 60 typescripts, offprints, photographs, ephemera and association copies. It shows the making of a Silicon Valley revolution as well as revealing many unknown aspects of this so-far little-known story with its surprisingly deep history, dating from the 1930s to the 1960s. Just as ChatGPT has pushed AI from a hot topic in the tech industry to a global news phenomenon, so AI has become the defining technology of our age. In this collection we can see how the invention of digital computing itself in the 1950s led to 'logic machines' which promised to imitate intelligence. Here we discover an entire program of 'Digitalized Logic', many unrecorded or otherwise unobtainable items including the program codes for a 'list processing' language developed at Cambridge in the 1960s called 'WISP'. Another highlight is an extraordinarily rich letter on the 'Turing Test' by perhaps the most profound philosopher of the postwar era, David Lewis. Pioneers like Claude Shannon, Warren McCulloch and Maurice Wilkes are well represented. So too are women like Thyllis Williams and Joyce Friedman, who worked at the cutting edge of this field in its early years. Even as the first 'golden age' of AI ended this collection shows how many of the central ideas in Deep Learning had already been developed - the statistical analysis of 'neural nets'; language models that could draw on vast bodies of literature to make predictions; probabilistic computing; the idea of a machine that could pass for a person. Only now are we living with the consequences of these ideas. In brief the collection comprises 60 items: 22 technical reports; 29 offprints/preprints; 2 association/proof copies; 7 pieces of ephemera over the period 1936 1969 with a linear measurement of 41cm. Please request a full and detailed listing of the collection's contents which we will be happy to provide. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
