A 1637 work lists two ways of identifying these objects based on their “organs,” sometimes called the “language test” and “action test.” One of these objects partly titles a materialist 1747 treatise that denies the existence of the soul, which forced its author Julien de La Mettrie to flee France. A philosopher who supposedly made one of these objects that was thrown off a ship presented a view named for a “beast” one of them in his Treatise on Man. One of these tangible objects appears in a 1949 metaphor that critiques the “category mistake” of comparing the mind and body. In that image from The Concept of Mind, Gilbert Ryle likened Cartesian dualism to a “ghost in” one of these objects. For 10 points, what sort of object is assessed for the ability to think in the “imitation game,” or Turing test? ■END■
