The theory attempts to explain how what we call intelligence could be a product of the interaction of non-intelligent parts. Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks. In 1986 Minsky published a comprehensive book on the theory which, unlike most of his previously published work, was written for a general audience (Robotics). In November 2006, Minsky published The Emotion Machine, a book that critiques many popular theories of how human minds work and suggests alternative theories, often replacing simple ideas with more complex ones. Recent drafts of the book are freely available from his webpage.[5] kse Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:56:59 +0000 minsky society of mind brain mind society learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emotion_Machine Minsky's The Emotion Machine (2006) - the book made available on wikipedia kse Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:56:30 +0000 minsky society of mind brain mind society learning
