Description
Herbert Simon's influential work on artificial intelligence explores the commonalities between artificial systems and natural phenomena. In "The Sciences of the Artificial", Simon argues that designed systems are a valid field of study, proposing a science of design. This reissue of the third edition features a new introduction by John E. Laird, bringing together advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design with Simon's original thesis. The book distills the essence of Simon's thought, making it accessible to a new audience. Originally published in 1996, "The Sciences of the Artificial" has been updated to reflect significant developments in the field, while confirming its core ideas about the potential for intelligent action through physical symbol systems.
