Ourselves and Computers

This volume explores how it is that we can know things and show responsibility in all that we do. It challenges the popular image of computers as information and knowledge processors, and opens up old questions about information informing ourselves - questions that are made urgent by new information technology.;The book develops an appreciation of knowledge-free technology, following the tradition of nonsensical formalisms (drawing on Heidegger and Wittgenstein, and on experience in Japan); these we use to inform our feeling and knowing about things in the sciences and in the arts - and in our daily business practices.
