The Primitives of Presentation Wholes, Parts and Psychophysics

  • Chapter
The Dawn of Cognitive Science

Part of the book series: Synthese Library ((SYLI,volume 295))

Abstract

A theoretical issue that has always been central to research in artificial intelligence is the concept of representation. For the sake of simplicity, one may say that analysis of the matter has moved in two main directions: the symbolic direction summed up by research in knowledge representation, and the sub-symbolic direction of connectionist analysis.

Die Monaden das Universum darstellen, indem sie es vorstellen. Leibniz

[...] cum dicitur quod finis prior est in intentione, intentio sumitur pro actu mentis, qui est intendere. Cum autem comparamus intentionem boni et veri, intentio sumitur pro ratione quam significat definitio; unde aequivoce accipitur utrobique. Thomas Aquinas

Das Äussere ist also jeweils, im strengen Sinne dieses Wortes, ein — mehr oder weniger zutreffenden — Bild des inneren. Metzger
