During the "philosophy of mind" - course, I had to write six essays about the texts we were reading once a week. That taught me a lot respect about analytical thinking, I tell you. It's not easy to put so much thought in two pages, but I tried my best :-)
Among these are the first proposals for important aspects of Artificial Intelligence and, as important, sketches of problems that it faces!

• Hilary Putnam – The nature of mental states (1967)
• Daniel Dennett - Intentional Systems (1979)
• Saul Kripke  – The Identity Thesis / Excerpt from “Identity
  and Necessity” (1980/1971)
• John Haugeland – Semantic Engines: An Introduction to Mind Design (1981)
• Paul Churchland – Eliminative Materialism and the Propositional
  Attitudes (1981)
• Thomas Nagel – How is it like to be a bat? (1981)
