From the publisher
From the rear cover
Intelligence can be characterized both as the ability to absorb and process information and as the ability to reason. Humans and other animals have both of these abilities to a greater of lesser degree, but the search for artificial intelligence has been hampered by the inability to wed the two characteristics in a happy marriage. In this provocative and ground-breaking book, Professor Keith Devlin argues that to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of intelligence and knowledge acquisition we must broaden our concept of logic.
