AI (artificial intelligence) is a groundbreaking project of the human race. Its technological elaboration in the sense of technological material products (HW, etc.) or technological products (SW, etc.) as provided by computer scientists, engineers, etc., is by no means governed by ideas. Apart from, e.g., mathematical ideas, philosophical ideas are important throughout the AI project, since they serve as beacons for the overall research and even its subsequent perception (incl. ethical evaluation). Among the prominent researchers in the area, one finds Marvin Minsky, whose works (e.g., Society of Mind) should be in the main focus of the thesis. Further recommended literature: his predecessors, contemporaries. Plus a reflection of his work in contemporary approaches.
