Essay

• the main message of the book
• how to apply this in teaching computer science

Main message

• Communication is commitment more than transfer of information
• Reference to a context, explicit or implicit, assumed to be common to both parts in the communication;
• commitment to restore a context in case of breakdown;
• necessity of the context,
• necessity of being conscient of the existence of the context (blindness)
• anticipation of breakdowns

Linear analysis of the book

• analysis of the sources: Heidegger and Maturana
• application to the question: a target for developing computer systems (failure of artificial intelligence, and problem solving)
• support to conversation in projects (human communication)
