About this title

Synopsis

The Fundamental Science in "Computer Science" Is the Science of Thought

For the first time, the collective genius of the great 18th-century German cognitive philosopher-scientists Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and Arthur Schopenhauer have been integrated into modern 21st-century computer science.

In contrast to the languishing mainstream of Artificial Intelligence, this book takes the human thought system as its model, resulting in an entirely different approach. This book presents the architecture of a thoroughly and broadly educated human mind as translated into modern software engineering design terms.

The result is The Autonomous System, based on dynamic logic and the architecture of the human mind. With its human-like intelligence, it is capable of rational thought, reasoning, and an understanding of itself and its tasks.

"A system of thoughts must always have an architectural structure."
―Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Presentation

About the Author

SZABOLCS MICHAEL de GYURKY was the Voyager Project Science Data Chief and a Technical Principal/Technical Manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, retiring after twenty-five years. He was awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal for technological advancements of fundamental importance. He has long been fascinated by the concept of computer science as an abstraction of the human thought system and the role of the cognitive sciences in computer science. He is the author of The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science (Wiley).

MARK A. TARBELL is a Visiting Scientist at the California Institute of Technology's Visual and Autonomous Exploration Systems Research Laboratory. For the last twenty-five years, he has immersed himself in large-scale computer science, aerospace, and biomedical project development for NASA, Caltech, and JPL. He is the recipient of the NASA Certificate of Recognition for Creative Development of Technical Innovation, co-recipient of the R&D 100 Award in biomedicine, and holds patents in the fields of aerospace and biomedical technologies.
