- Synopsis
- The author, one of the leaders in artificial intelligence research, begins with the question: can we introduce emotion into the computer? In providing an answer, he not only points to a future revolution in computers but changes views about the human mind. He shows that emotions are more important than logic in determining the form and content of much of daily human thoughts. Analyzing recent psychological research and ancient literary texts, he makes a case for the similarity in the thinking of children and that of ancient peoples, in that they rely heavily on metaphor. He believes this way of thought is richer and more valuable than has been assumed and can lead to the creation of revolutionary new artificial intelligence systems.
