Technological advances in computer science have secured the computer metaphor status of a heuristic methodological toolused to answer the question about the nature of mind. Nevertheless, some philosophers strongly support opposite opinions.Anti-computationalism in the philosophy of mind is a methodological program that uses extremely heterogeneous grounds for argumentation, deserving analysis and discussion. This article provides an overview and interpretation of the traditional criticismof the computational theory of mind (computationalism); its basic theses have been formed in Western philosophy in the last quarterof the 20th century. The main goal is to reveal the content of the arguments of typical anti-computationalist programs and expandtheir application to the framework of the semantic problems of the Classic Computational Theory of Mind. The main fault of the symbolic approach in the classical computationalism is the absence of a full-fledged theory of semantic properties. The relevance of considering these seemingly outdated problems is justified by the fact that the problem of meaning (and generalproblems of semantics) remains in the core of the latest developments in various areas of AI and the principles of human-computerinteraction.

Celem tego artykułu jest odniesienie niektórych koncepcji z filozofii języka do kwestii autyzmu. Przykłady osób z róż­nymi niepełnosprawnościami pokazują, że język nie jest tym samym dla każdego. Osoby z autyzmem są jednym z takich przykładów, który może nam ukazać różnice w postrzeganiu i używaniu języka przez jednostki, co może dać szerszą perspektywę w spojrzeniu na sam język. Artykuł ten jest głównie oparty na dwóch eksperymentach myślowych zapre­zentowanych przez Ludwiga Wittgensteina: „żuk w pudełku" oraz Johna Searle'a: „chiński pokój", których zestawienie pokaże, że możemy rozumieć zarówno autyzm, jak i język w odmienny niż dotychczas sposób.

The aim of this paper is to refer some ideas of philosophy of language to autism. People with autism are one of such examples that can show us differences in perceiving and using language by individuals which can give us a broader per- spective on language itself. This paper is mainly based on two mental experiments brought by Ludwig Wittgenstein - "be- etle in the box" and John Searle - "Chinese room", to show that we can understand language and autism in different way.
