An interesting bunch of papers on McCulloch are available here. Now we have a fairly nice collection of papers that can throw some light on early computationalism.

Since Marcin linked these articles to computationalism, readers might be interested in a juxtaposition of Gualtiero’s view of McCulloch & Pitts, 1943, and my view.
