Title
Knowledge Representation and the Embodied Mind: Towards a Philosophy and Technology of Personalized Informatics
Abstract
Knowledge representation has a long tradition in logic and philoso- phy. Automated reasoning with ontologies and categories had been discussed in philosophy, before it was formalized in artificial intelligence and e.g. applied in information systems. But, most of our knowledge is implicit and unconscious, situated and personalized. It is not formally represented, but embodied knowl- edge, which is learnt by doing, applied by self-organization, and understood by bodily interacting with (social) environments. In a complex world, we have to be able to act and decide with incomplete and fuzzy knowledge under the con- ditions of bounded rationality. The bounded rationality of embodied minds is a challenge of informatics especially in the complex information world of Inter- net applications and Web-based services offering access to a vast variety of in- formation sources. It overcomes traditional concepts of mind-body dualism in the philosophy of mind, traditional knowledge representation in AI, and rational agents ("homo oeconomicus") in economics. Personalized informatics opens a trans-disciplinary perspective for philosophy and working technology.
