Abstract
Enaction, Convolution and Conceptualism: An AI-Based Exploration of Dharmakīrti’s Perception and Conception
Highlights
My goal in this paper is to give an account of perception and concept formation that is both grounded in contemporary artificial intelligence and compatible with Dharmakīrti’s account of perception and conception
If one holds that concepts are essentially linguistic in nature ... conceptualism collapses into nominalism
Conceptualism is distinct from nominalism only when it takes the form of a resemblance theory, and this turns out to lead in the end to one or another type of realism
Summary
My goal in this paper is to give an account of perception and concept formation that is both grounded in contemporary artificial intelligence and compatible with Dharmakīrti’s account of perception and conception. I propose that neural networks, coupled with an enactive theory of concept formation, provide for just such an account of resemblance which does not require kind universals.
