Abstract (EN)

The roots of the philosophy of mind go back to Ancient Greece. The thought of the soul, the knowing of man as a thinking creature, distinguishes man from all other things. In human-soul-body discussions, the soul is generally considered as the power that controls the body. Plato sees the soul as the subject in terms of soul and body. In the modern period, the dualist approach seen in Descartes has been effective until the Contemporary period. With the influence of Wittgeinstein's language game and neurology in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind begins to be discussed over cerebral interaction and artificial intelligence. The concept of soul has left its place to the concept of consciousness. While Searle examines the concepts of consciousness and perception through brain factors, he develops the Chinese Room Argument against the Turing Test that artificial intelligence cannot think like a human.
