The Computational FallacyThe "mechanical" and the "electronic." are by themselves not paradigms and do not represent distinct, successive, agonistic "ages" or irreducible worlds in collision.To continue to think of these in such vi/orn and sterile vi^ays can have no other effect than to hide from ourselves their political dimensions. The mechanical and the electronic (and most of what is denoted by these terms in present usage) are in fact expressions of two continuous, interdependent historicalontological modalities: those of Matter (substance) and Intelligence (order, shape).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
