              THE PERRY SCHEME OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT

William Perry's scheme of moral and intellectual development  postulates
a sequence of "positions" that college students move through, reflecting
their developing attitudes towards knowledge.  The positions range  from
"Basic  Duality"-all  problems  are  solvable;  the student's task is to
learn the right solutions-through "Contextual Relativism"-all  knowledge
is  disconnected  from  any  concept of absolute truth, though there are
standards that theories must  adhere  to-to  "Developing  Commitment"-in
which it is seen that one must retrace the whole journey over and over.

Dr. Copes, who is the former coordinator of the  "Perry  Network",  will
discuss the scheme, some applications of AI to understanding it, and its
relevance to cognitive science.

                         Monday, April 10, 1989
                               4:00 P.M.

            There will be an evening discussion at 8:00 P.M.
                     at a location to be announced.
