I think that this book is really interesting "Surfaces and essences: Analogy as the fuel and fire of thinking" by Hofstadter and Sander Many people got dissilusioned with classical AI because mathematical logic (inference engines) would not scale to 'strong' AI. Hofstaedter says that most concepts handled by Humans do not fit into clear cut onthologies one to one. Instead each higher order concepts are created by finding analogies between objects or simpler concepts, and by grouping these similar concepts into more complex entities. I have a summary of the book here http://mosermichael.github.io/cstuff/all/blogg/2013/10/15/post-1.html http://mosermichael.github.io/cstuff/all/blogg/2013/10/15/po...
