Email: dwbates@berkeley.edu

David Bates' current project explores the problem of "human insight" in the rationalist tradition. He is particularly interested in rhetorical conceptions of knowledge in Enlightenment scientific epistemology, in logic and science in 19th-century thought, and in theories of insight at the intersections of 20th-century psychology, philosophy of science, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence research.
