The connection between the history of computing technology, epistemology and the philosophy of mind is expressed through the metaphorical dictionaries of the philosophical discourse of a particular era. The conceptual clarification of this connection and the substantiation of the mechanistic components of the computer metaphor is the main goal of this article. The statement is substantiated that the invention of mechanical computing devices, having a long history in the European engineering tradition, formed the prerequisites for the emergence of machine functionalism in the modern philosophy of mind. The idea of multiple implementation stems from the principle that a formal symbol system prescribes rules for the use of rational abstractions through the physical architecture of a computational engine. The article considers the reasons for the conceptual shift and reveals the semantic foundations for the metaphorical transfer of the properties of abstract objects from the theory of automata to the field of modern philosophy of mind. The criticism and ways of protecting the philosophical program of machine functionalism are analyzed by changing the content of the metaphor “Mind as machine”. The reasons for the stability of the information-computer approach in cognitive sciences are also disclosed and explained.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В данной статье речь пойдет о механистических истоках компьютерной метафоры, формирующей концептуальный каркас для методологии когнитивных наук, ряда областей искусственного интеллекта и философии сознания. Связь истории вычислительной техники с теорией познания выражается через метафорические словари философского дискурса той или иной эпохи. Концептуальное прояснение этой связи и обоснование механистических компонентов компьютерной метафоры - основная цель исследования. Обосновывается утверждение, что изобретение механических вычислительных устройств, имея долгую историю в европейской инженерной традиции, сформировало предпосылки для зарождения машинного функционализма в современной философии сознания. Идея множественной реализации вытекает из принципа, согласно которому формальная символьная система предписывает правила использования рассудочных абстракций через физическую архитектуру вычислительного механизма. В статье рассмотрены причины концептуального смещения и раскрыты семантические основания метафорического переноса свойств абстрактных объектов из теории автоматов в область современной философии сознания. Проанализирована критика и способы защиты философской программы машинного функционализма путем изменения содержания метафоры «Разум есть машина». Также раскрыты и объяснены причины устойчивости информационно-компьютерного подхода в когнитивных науках.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>computer metaphor</kwd><kwd>history of computing</kwd><kwd>machine functionalism</kwd><kwd>Turing machine</kwd><kwd>computability</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>компьютерная метафора</kwd><kwd>история вычислительной техники</kwd><kwd>машинный функционализм</kwd><kwd>машина Тьюринга</kwd><kwd>вычислимость</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Sternberg RJ.
