As we explained in the beginning of this chapter, with the synthetic method, by building
artificial systems, we can understand the natural ones. As AI develops, it affects more advanced
philosophical concepts and their relations, such as self, reason, beliefs, truth, and being.
1.4. About BBS
“If something has an explanation, you can explain it.
If it has no explanation, you should explain why you cannot explain it”
Behaviour-based systems are a promising paradigm for understanding intelligence, in
animals and humans, and for developing systems simulating such intelligences. If we want to
understand the evolution of cognition, this is, how animal intelligence evolved into human
intelligence, we also need to address other issues, such as culture, language, and society. In the
next chapter, we will make a brief introduction to artificial societies, which, in a similar way
than BBS, are assisting in the understanding of social processes.
