'Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy' was given at Aaron Sloman's Symposium on philosophy and AI at IJCAI-95. The present version is somewhat improved. Artificial intelligence (AI) has closer scientific connections with philosophy than do other sciences, because AI shares many concepts with philosophy, e.g. action, consciousness, epistemology (what it is sensible to say about the world), and even free will. This article treats the philosophy of AI but also analyzes some concepts common to philosophy and AI from the standpoint of AI. This article describes how to express programs with assignment statements and conditional GOTOs in mathematical logic without any programming constructs used in Fortran and Algol. Concepts that are ill-defined in general can be precise in limited contexts. We propose applications for this idea in AI an
