About the Book

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 in 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 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 computerization of the work of forest rangers - Professor Goranzon 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 knowledge 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 Goranzon uses his experience as a mathematician and computer scientist over the last ten years to examine this important new area. This volume should 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.
