Abstract

This paper presents a discussion of four philosophical problems from
perspectives in which Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy and Psychology have a common interest. The issues are: the classical frame problem, which originated from AI research concerning the restriction of representations in first order logic; David Hume's view on representation and on reasoning about representations. In a line of argumentation presented by William Frawley, the paper focuses on two philosophical problems, (1) Plato's question of how world knowledge can grow from the mere fragements of which our cognition of facts is made up and (2) Wittgenstein's question conerning the compatibility between natural and computational languages. The main purpose of the paper is to show how certain fundamental philosophical premises may exclude the
