Causal maps

Military foundations of strategy

Strategy as persuasion and manipulation

Sun Tzu – The Art of War (~500 BC)

Sun Tzu “if they are strong, avoid them”

any comment ?

Strategy as enemy total destruction

Karl von Clausewitz (~1800)

On war quot;The complete or partial destruction of the enemy must be regarded as the sole object of all engagements.”

Biological foundations

Daniel Dennett

Genotype and phenotype genotype + environment → phenotype

Intentionality The intentionality characteristic of humans is a result of evolutionary processes. Humans have goals and desires and tend to operate in order realize their goals (according to their understanding of the world or their beliefs).

Darwinian creatures Kinds of Minds: Towards an Understanding of Consciousness Daniel C. Dennett
