英文简介:
In this candid and witty autobiography, Nobel laureate Herbert A.
Simon looks at his distinguished and varied career, continually asking himself whether (and how) what he learned as a scientist helps to explain other aspects of his life.
A brilliant polymath in an age of increasing specialization, Simon is one of those rare scholars whose work defines fields of inquiry.
Crossing disciplinary lines in half a dozen fields, Simon’s story encompasses an explosion in the information sciences, the transformation of psychology by the information-processing paradigm, and the use of computer simulation for modeling the behavior of highly complex systems.
Simon’s theory of bounded rationality led to a Nobel Prize in economics, and his work on building machines that think — based on the notion that human intelligence is the rule-governed manipulation of symbols — laid conceptual foundations for the new cognitive science.
Subsequently, contrasting metaphors of the maze (Simon’s view) and of the mind (neural nets) have dominated the artificial intelligence debate.
There is also a warm account of his successful marriage and of an unconsummated love affair, letters to his children, columns, a short story, and political and personal intrigue in academe.

From Publishers Weekly
Simon observes himself as an object for scientific inquiry in this refreshingly innovative autobiography.
Principal architect of the field of artificial intelligence, this polymath has applied the metaphor of a decision-making maze to human cognition, management science, economics and politics–winning a Nobel Prize in 1978.
Instead of a dry, rationalist exercise, this traipse through the branching paths of his personal labyrinth turns out to be a quirky, soul-baring self-analysis.
In early chapters on his introspective Milwaukee childhood, he refers to himself in the third person as “the boy.
” He is equally objective in discussing his 1930s flirtation with political radicalism, his half-century-long marriage and the politics of scientific infighting.
This is a disarming self-portrait by a gifted writer who believes that the real self is an illusion and that one’s life need not have a unifying thread.

From Library Journal
Simon is a veritable Renaissance man: considered the father of artificial intelligence, he also contributed to the theory of organizational behavior and was the first social scientist to be admitted to the National Academy of Science.
In this extensive and entertaining autobiography, he writes smoothly and provocatively on a range of topics from his early youth to his years at UC Berkeley, Illinois, and, finally Carnegie Mellon.
He is surprisingly candid in discussing how he “prepared” for his Nobel prize in economics, and his descriptions of political and personal in-fighting in academe document an aspect often not shown.
Simon has participated in some of the most wide-ranging intellectual developments of this century, and his autobiography surely will interest many readers.

在这个坦率和机智的自传中，诺贝尔奖获得者赫伯特·A·西蒙（Herbert A.西蒙的故事跨越了六个领域，跨越信息科学的爆炸，信息处理范式对心理学的转变以及计算机模拟在高度复杂体系的行为上建模的行为，以实现人类的经济学奖励，这些规则是基于人类的经济学奖，这些规则是在建立人类奖学金的范围 – 符号 – 新认知科学的概念基础。
随后，迷宫（西蒙的观点）和思想（神经网）的对比了鲜明的隐喻，主导了人工智能的辩论。
也有一个热情的叙述，即他成功的婚姻以及未经同意的恋爱关系，给他的孩子，专栏，短篇小说，短篇小说以及在学院中的政治和个人阴谋。

西蒙将自己视为这一令人耳目一新的创新自传中科学探究的对象。
这种多层人士的主要建筑师将决策迷宫的隐喻应用于人类的认知，管理科学，经济学和政治 – 获得了1978年的诺贝尔奖。
而不是一种干燥的理性主义练习，而是通过他的个人迷宫的分支途径来实现这一挑战，这表明他是一种Quirky，Quirky silessips sole quirky silessemal bar的自我自我。
在他内省的密尔沃基童年时期的早期章节中，他以第三人称为“男孩”。
他同样客观地讨论了1930年代的政治激进主义，他的半个世纪婚姻和科学内斗的政治。
这是一位有才华的作家的解除武装的自画像，他认为真正的自我是一种幻想，一生不需要统一的话题。

西蒙（Simon）是一个名副其实的文艺复兴时期的人：被认为是人工智能的父亲，他还为组织行为理论做出了贡献，也是第一位被美国国家科学院录取的社会科学家。
在这个广泛而有趣的自传中，他在伊利诺伊州加州大学伯克利分校的一系列主题上平稳而挑衅地写作，最后是卡内基·梅隆（Carnegie Mellon）。
他令人惊讶地坦率地讨论了他如何为诺贝尔经济学奖做准备，以及他对Academe文档中的政治和个人战斗的描述通常没有显示出来。
西蒙参加了本世纪最广泛的知识发展，他的自传肯定会让许多读者感兴趣。
