A recent book contains a chapter by Jaime Gomez on scientific epistemology for autonomous agents:
Naturalizing Epistemology for Autonomous Systems by Jaime Gómez in Regarding the Mind, Naturally: Naturalist Approaches to the Sciences of the Mental by Talmont-Kaminsky and Milinkovski (Eds.). ISBN 978-1443843416, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013.
The book Regarding the Mind, Naturally is available in bookshops. More details from Amazon. Gomez's chapter explores issues concerning naturalized epistemology and the use of isomorphism criteria in the analysis and construction of autonomous systems. A naturalized epistemic account is proposed following the constructivist paradigm. We begin by defining the basis level, where irreducible extralogical-phenomenic primitives are set out. Upon the simple primitives of basis level, further and more complex levels are defined, through a subsumption process, permitting to correlate different conceptual levels in terms of their respective primitives. Following this constructivist practice, we expect to obtain a shaped set of isomorphisms between the system form, that is, the epistemic part of the system, and a range of perceived objects and events of the environment where the system is placed. |
