 * ``Allan Bloom, a classicist and Greek scholar now best known for his controversial The Closing of the American Mind, was harshly critical of Ryle, writing: "In themselves Ryle's opinions are beneath consideration, but they do deserve diagnosis as a symptom of a sickness which is corrupting our understanding of old writers and depriving a generation of their liberating influence . . . Such scholarship should give us pause, for Ryle is held by many to be one of the preeminent professors of philosophy in the Anglo-Saxon world." Bloom's central criticism indicts Ryle for anachronistically "Aristotelianizing" Platonic texts, thereby putting them through an artificial "analytic strainer." According to Bloom, this mediation vitiates the content of Plato's text by "torturing Plato to conform to a dogmatic starting point," rather than entering at the natural beginning.`` -- from Gilbert Ryle

 * Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Hypertext, Chapel Hill, NC, 1987. Pages 247-251.
 * Abstract This paper introduces an application-specific hypertext system designed to facilitate the capture of early design deliberations, which implements a specific design method called Issue Based Information Systems (IBIS). The hypertext system described here, gIBIS(for graphical IBIS), makes use of color and a high speed relational database server to facilitate building and browsing typed IBIS networks. Further, gIBIS is designed to support the collaborative construction of these networks by any number of cooperating team members spread across a local area network. Early experiments suggest that the gIBIS tool, while still incomplete, forges a good match between graphical interface and design method even in this experimental version. ACM

 * How Well Do We Acknowledge Intellectual Debts?
 * Journal of Documentation, 43(1): 54-64.

A paper that conforms to the norms of scholarly perfection would explicitly cite every past publication to which it owes an intellectual debt. Not knowing what he should acknowledge his intellectual debt to is no excuse for omission, any more than ignorance of the law can excuse its violation. Acknowledgement of intellectual debt is not the only function of the paper's bibliography. It indicates the author's actual source of ideas, which may not be the true origin of the idea. It directs the reader to further information. It meets others' expectations about the content of a scholarly paper. There are many other reasons for citing.

Can humans compute? This is the question to which H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins, one of the founding figures of cognitive science, has devoted his research over the past twenty years. His and his field's intellectual odyssey from the fringe to the center of the scientific world's attention is recounted with wit and grace in this wide-ranging collection of previously published and original essays.

The volume begins in the late 1960s, when the author had moved from theoretical chemistry to what was then known as theoretical biology. It traces his search for new concepts with which to establish a science of the mind, and it includes Longuet-Higgins's famous comment on the 1971 Lighthill Report in which he introduced the term "cognitive science" and sketched the possible components of the field.

The essays are divided into five parts. The first, Generalities, explores the basic philosophical questions at the root of the new science. The essays on Music show the importance of the musical sense as a testing ground for understanding cognitive processes in general. The author's forays into Language describe some of the major early achievements in the now very active field of computational linguistics.

The studies of Vision are all directed to the problem - crucial for the development of machine-vision systems - of inferring the structure of a scene from two views. The author suggests that the chapters on Memory "be treated indulgently as the first attempt of a physical scientist to climb out of the mindless world of atoms and molecules into the real world of subjective experience."

H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins is Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Sussex. Mental Processes inaugurates the series Explorations in Cognitive Science, edited by Margaret Boden and co-sponsored by The MIT Press and The British Psychological Society. A Bradford Book.

 * ``Which came first, the action or the plan? The plan, you probably say even without a moments hesitation. This is, however, according to Suchman (1987) a poor way of understanding what really happens when a person sets out to do something. She says that it is only when we have to account for our actions that we fit them into the framework of a plan. Actions are to a great extent linked to the specific situation at hand and are therefore hard to predict by using generic rules. Action, as well as learning, understanding and remembering, is situated.``
