While the discussion takes empirical support  from a wide range, claims for the significance of logic and rules are  challenged throughout. Highlights of the discussion: \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e knowing is a matter of habits or dispositions that guide the  person's stream of consciousness; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e rules of language have no  significance in language production and understanding, being  descriptions of linguistic styles; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e statements that may be true  or false enter into ordinary linguistic activity, not as elements of  messages, but merely as summaries of situations, with a view to  action; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e in computer programming the significance of logic,  proof, and formalized description, is incidental and subject to the  programmer's personality; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e analysis of computer modelling of the  mental activity shows that in describing human knowing the computer is  irrelevant; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e in accounting for the scholarly\/scientific  activity, logic and rules are impotent; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e a novel theory:  scholarship and science have coherent descriptions as their core.  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   The discussion addresses questions that are basic to advanced  applications of computers and to students of language and science.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 August 1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792336808\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e368\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53262788460684,"sku":"9780792336808","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792336808","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
