Substantive content (Musings on Physical Church-Turing Thesis, A Critique of Conceptual Analysis, The Culture of Fear and more) will come later. For now, books I desperately want:
An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms, Melanie Mitchell
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science, Rudolf Carnap
Complexity, Entropy, and the Physics of Information, Wojciech H. Zurek (editor)
Error and the Growth of Experimental Knowledge, Deborah G. Mayo
Reality Rules 2, the Frontier, John Casti
The Logical Structure of the World and Pseudo Problems of Philosophy, Rudolf Carnap
The Logical Syntax of Language, Rudolf Carnap
The Mathematical Theory of Information, Jan Kahre
Representations, Targets, and Attitudes, Robert Cummins
I've got a book for Carnap... it's called my foot in his ass!

Posted by: John at February 13, 2004 10:12 AMOh, I have no problem with the dark side. In fact, I think BOTH sides are the 'dark side.' I just don't particularly care for Carnap. ;)
Oh yeah, and Thomas Kuhn was a Hegelian.
Bwhaha!

Posted by: H.A. at February 13, 2004 10:21 AMKuhn? A Hegelian? It seems everyone who agrees with Kuhn in some broad sense wants to assimilate him, too. I've heard him called a Kantian, too.
