This book offers a critical reconstruction of the fundamental ideas
and methods of artificial intelligence research. Through close
attention to the metaphors of artificial intelligence and their
consequences for the field's patterns of success and failure, it
argues for a reorientation of the field away from thought in the
head and towards activity in the world. By considering
computational ideas in a large, philosophical framework, the author
eases critical dialogue between technology and the social sciences.
AI can benefit from an understanding of the field in relation to
human nature, and in return, it offers a powerful mode of
investigation into the practicalities of physical realization. This
is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System
Governance Project. For more publications, see
