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: \u003c\/p\u003e\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. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048146093\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048146093\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8549-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343484940428,"sku":"9789048146093","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048146093_85f8a470-a1ac-4f9c-95ee-93cf50d4c335.jpg?v=1755056234","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048146093","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
