Elenchos and Gnosiogenesis

Gnosiogenesis is the natural complement of Project Elenchos. For the first time the computer will be used in such broad scale to determine the conceptual links of the stored philosophical information from the European heritage.

Further, it will enable users to structure the presentation of the information, responding to individual preferences and interests of both expert and the non-specialists. Project Elenchos has educational advantages, insofar as it gives the designer of the database the control in the interactive exchange between user and computer.

In Gnosiogenesis the designer loses this control, passing it over to the computer (!), in exchange for a multiplicity of ways of presenting information suited to their interests.
