        Subject: android epistemology

Herewith follows a table of contents for a collection of essays that 
somehow I managed to overlook until just recently: Thinking About 
Android Epistemology. The book should be of some interest here. 
Comments would be most welcome and, I hope, the book useful to
those who, like me, cannot seem to leave the question of intelligence 
alone.

Here's for a surprisingly good 2023!

All the best,
WM
