AlbakiReads Editorial A philosophical challenge to computer-centered ideas of intelligence
A philosophical challenge to computer-centered ideas of intelligence
Mind Over Machine examines the limits of binary logic and computer technology through an argument for the continuing importance of human intuition and expertise. Hubert and Stuart Dreyfus place questions of artificial intelligence alongside education, asking what kinds of judgment and understanding may resist technical reproduction. Published in 1988, the book presents a sustained case that human intelligence cannot be reduced to the strengths of machines alone. Its subject is not simply computing, but the distinction between formal problem-solving and the intuitive knowledge developed through experience.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in foundational debates about artificial intelligence and human cognition
- Those exploring philosophical critiques of computers in education
- Readers curious about intuition, expertise, and the limits of formal logic

Heburt L. Drefyus discusses and debates the use of computers in education in this book that proves to be "crucial in the development of computer technology" (Terry Winograd, Associate Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University).Arguing the power of human intuition over the technical strengths of computer technology, Hubert and Stuart Drefyus present a stunning reaffirmation of human intelligence. A compelling approach to inferiority of binary logic, Mind Over Machine presents a reassuring argument that human intuition and expertise will remain far more valuable than technology develops.
