Electron Microscopy in Biology and Medicine #7: Knowledge Representation and Metaphor

Electron Microscopy in Biology and Medicine #7: Knowledge Representation and Metaphor Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An inter-disciplinary journey from metaphor and language philosophy to recent issues and techniques in artificial intelligence. Conceptions of knowledge representation have been dominated by a tradition that bases language on logic, portraying it as essentially literal and truth-functional. The author confronts this view, arguing that the cognitive mechanisms involved in metaphor provide a better model for structuring knowledge than that of first-order logic, presenting the Dynamic Type Hierarchy theory as an entirely new approach to metaphor, language and knowledge representation.
