Book excerpt: Development of research connected with artificial intelligence and the cognitive sciences obliges us to confront further components of the traditional problem of form. Contributors analyze the concept of form from the perspective of fields such as ontology, language, and mathematics, and look at form in its different aspects according to a more modern theory of knowledge. Subjects include experimental phenomenology, a theory of figural form, form metaphysics, and forms in algebras. Of interest to systematic philosophers, philosophers of language, psychologists, and linguists. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
