Intellectual issues in the history of artificial intelligence

This paper sketches the history of artificial intelligence in terms of intellectual issues. These are the usually d ichotomous opposit ions that disciplines seem to generate for themselves in profusion, such as heuristics versus algorithms or declarative versus procedural representations. S u c h a history is complementary to the standard history in terms of the evolving content of the sc ience and the scientists who were responsible for the discoveries and developments. It is certainly no substitute for it. Furthermore, the role of such issues, especially as generated by the field itself rather than by the historian, is not clear. Yet, the picture such a history provides proves interesting. Th is paper does not pretend to be an adequate historiography, but must be taken as a source document prepared by a participant in the field.
