                     UNDERSTANDING AND PERSONALITY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has inherited a conception of  pure  under-
standing  from  modern  philosophy, especially Descartes and Kant.  How-
ever, developments within AI,  specifically  with  regard  to  knowledge
representation,  have  partially undermined this conception.  It will be
argued that they have not gone  far  enough  in  this.   In  particular,
``impurities'' like ego and affects must be included as well.
