  • The Actor and the Spectator

    Harry Ruja, Lewis White BeckARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1977

    Can a machine think? More pointedly, if I am a machine, can I think? Beck answers these questions by analyzing two clusters of metaphors -- one of which dramatizes human beings as spontaneous agents (actors), and the other sees them as observers attempting to explain causally their own behavior and that of the actor (spectators).
