Inhaltsangabe

The epistemology of professional knowledge is a relatively new area of research which is concerned with the development and maintenance of professional knowledge at the level of the individual, the work group and the community. One of its major aims is to illustrate the effect of information technology on professional knowledge and to create the basis for a sound social and productive implementation of new technology in the workplace. The Practical Intellect: Computers and Skills is the latest in a series of books which aim to define the contours of this new research field. Rather than examining the technical relationship between natural and artificial intelligence, it is designed to encourage philosophical reflection on previously neglected areas. Through a series of case studies - such as the computerisation of the work of forest rangers - Professor Göranzon examines the conflict between mathematical calculation and human judgement which arises when new technology competes with existing professional knowledge. He also provides a useful context for the major issues by looking at the historical development of the useful context for the major issues by looking at the historical development of the computer as a tool and examining the scientific and intellectual traditions which have shaped current design approaches. A chapter on education and professional knowlege provides a context for understanding the significance of Ai developments in general and looks at the problems of balancing technology, human knowledge and working practices. In The Practical Intellect: Computers and Skills Professor Göranzon uses his experience as a mathematician and computer scientist over the last ten years to examine this important new area. This volume will be of interest to researchers, lecturers and postgraduate students of Ai and also to anyone involved in multidisciplinary work concerning computers, education and the social sciences.

Reseña del editor

The intention of this book is not to add another technical work to the series of publications already available on matters connected with the relations between natural and artificial intelligence, nor to repeat the positions already well expressed in, for example, the debate between John Searle, Daniel Dennet and Hubert Dreyfus. It is an attempt to encourage philosophical reflection on dimensions of the subject that have hitherto been somewhat neglected. This book, which explores a number of case studies, is the fifth in the series, the previous four books being: (i) Knowledge, Skill and Artificial Intelligence (Bo Goranzon and Ingela Josefson (Eds. ), Springer-Verlag, London, 1988) (ii) Artificial Intelligence, Culture and Language: On Education and Work (Bo Goranzon and Magnus Florin (Eds. ), Springer­ Verlag, London, 1990) (iii) Dialogue and Technology: Art and Knowledge (Bo Goranzon and Magnus Florin (Eds. ), Springer-Verlag, London, 1991) (iv) Skill and Education: Reflection and Experience (Bo Goranzon and Magnus Florin (Eds. ), Springer-Verlag, London, 1992) An important connection between these four books is the conference on Culture, Language and Artificial Intelligence held in Stockholm in May-June, 1988. The conference was attended by more than 300 researchers and practitioners, from over 15 countries, in the fields of technology, philosophy, the history of ideas, literature and linguistics. Contributions to the books were solicited from among those who attended the conference and from researchers involved in work related to its aim.
