Computational perspectivalism has been recently proposed as an alternative to mainstream accounts of physical computation, and especially to the teleologically-based mechanistic view. It takes physical computation to be partly dependent on explanatory perspectives and eschews appeal to teleology in helping individuate computational systems. I assess several varieties of computational perspectivalism, showing that they either collapse into existing non-perspectival views or end up with unsatisfactory or implausible accounts of physical computation. Computational perspectivalism fails, therefore, to be a compelling alternative to perspective-independent theories of computation in physical systems. I conclude that a teleologically-based, non-perspectival mechanistic account of physical computation is to be preferred.1. Introduction2. The Mechanistic View of Computation2.1.

反对计算视角主义

最近有人提出计算视角主义作为物理计算主流解释的替代方案,尤其是基于目的论的机械论观点。它需要物理计算部分依赖于解释性观点,并在帮助个性化计算系统时避免诉诸目的论。我评估了几种不同的计算透视主义,表明它们要么崩溃到现有的非透视视图中,要么以不令人满意或不可信的物理计算解释告终。因此,计算透视主义无法成为物理系统中与透视无关的计算理论的引人注目的替代方案。我的结论是,基于目的论的、非透视的物理计算机械解释是首选。1.介绍2.计算的机制观点2.1。目的论功能和满足需求3.透视主义的种类4.计算透视主义4.1. 计算透视主义和泛计算主义4.2。计算透视主义和错误计算5.评估的计算透视主义的种类5.1。无害的计算透视主义5.2。非无害的计算透视主义5.2.1。计算工具主义 5.2.2. 本体透视论6.结束语
