Overview
In the epigraph, Dennett [1987] describes how most humans would try to predict another humans’ motion if asked to: if we accept that a moving object is rational and that it is able to move at will – we take the intentional stance towards it – then it follows that the best way to predict its motion is to try to emulate its rational process, eg “the car is slowing down because it wants to park in the free place at the left”. But designing a computer program capable of such emulation in a general fashion is far beyond our current capabilities.
