Abstract
While the application of ideas of artificial intelligence in C.A.I. has been in the structuring of information storage and retrieval, this paper shows how modifications of the concept of ‘proof’ studied in mathematical logic lead to a dialectical question answering system, much more similar to the Socratic method of convincing than to drilling of programmed learning. The design of C.A.I. programs for management accounting and social science shows how an interdisciplinary approach is practicable, and how the learner is encouraged to search for the metatheoretical assumptions of social science.
