| Summary |
What is knowledge? In what sense is the environment of a cognitive system more than a mere source of information? What are the roles of relevance and indifference for a characterisation of knowledge? How are knowledge and action related? These issues are considered and discussed in this book. Although it does not offer an account of knowledge, this work addresses a diverse range of important topics concerning that notion, seeking to connect them in a unifying way. |
