"This excellent collection contains important contributions from
leading researchers in artificial intelligence and philosophy, working
in the intersection of these subjects, an area of intense and exciting
activity in recent years. Anyone with an interest in planning,
reasoning, or the nature of mind will want to read this book."
-- Gilbert Harman, Professor of Philosophy, Princeton
University
Philosophers have found that the concepts and technology of artificial
intelligence provide useful ways to test theories of knowledge and
reason. Conversely, researchers in artificial intelligence, noting
that the production of information-processing systems require a prior
theory of rationality, have begun writing philosophy. Philosophy and
AI presents invited contributions that focus on the different
perspectives and techniques that philosophy and AI bring to the theory
of rationality.
