[Ailist] AI & Postmodernism

[Jane Magruder Watkins]

Dear Parashu:

I have a story for you. When I first met David in the mid-1980's as he was
finishing his PhD at Case, I was very interested in learning more about his
work. He said, "I'll send you a copy of the book that started me on this
journey into post-modernism." I have to admit that I didn't have a clue who
Ken Gergen was and didn't know a great deal about post-modern thought. A few
days later, a Xeroxed copy of Ken's first book arrived (it was out of print
at the time) and I began my journey with David into the world of AI!

It was Ken's work that sent David on this journey -- post modern for sure!

Best to you,

Jane

Dear All
I am in search of materials that can prove that AI is a postmodern theory.
Can anybody help me with the resources (websites/url or any other) that help
me to find out the linkage between AI & Postmodernism? If you have written
any article on the subject, that will also help me. 

Appreciatively
