Unification of Artificial Intelligence and Psychology Volume Two - Consequences

This book, the second of two-volumes, builds on the unification of Artificial Intelligence and Psychology to explore its consequences. In doing so, this volume unifies three pivotal phenomena of Cognitive Science and AI: knowledge, consciousness and emotions. The extended Theory of Noémon Systems expounds ramifications for cognitive science, philosophy of mind, mathematics, and the issue of the unity of science and art. It also discusses the similarities and differences between humans and AI/robot systems with respect to consciousness, emotions and scientific knowledge. As with the first volume, this book will appeal to scientists working on the interfaces of psychology, AI, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, and the humanities. The complicated and extensive unification of the fields of Artificial Intelligence and psychology breaks entirely new ground for both disciplines, with thought-provoking and compelling implications for both.
