Jaki's works, or at least enough of the right ones, you see certain themes emerge time and again. One of the most important of those "Jakian" themes is the irreducible ontological gap between "the quantitative and the qualitative." Fr.

I wish he were here to write an updated version, for I am not quite sure who is on the planet right now with the same analytical capability, yet the version we have in hand provides a base of argument and thought that is both an indispensable starting point – a general starting framework of thought - and a base entirely relevant to the subject today, the subject today being. Criticism still sorely needed Though written in the late 1960s ( this edition is actually from 1989), Brain, Mind and Computers was not focused so much on the current state of affairs as it was then, as on the deep conceptual problems underlying any attempt at hard or soft AI.The book begins by recounting a history of the view of physicists on the question of material minds and Jaki shows that all of the greatest physicists found the idea of such things repulsive and unlikey, if not impossible. It was the non-scientist "admirers of science" like Hobbes who clu
