Immanuel Kant and the Deep Rationality of Software Testing
T2 Start Time : 15:15 End Time : 16:00
Talk Abstract:
Immanuel Kant, one of the greatest in European philosophy has a reputation for being pedantic and difficult. But most of us intuitively get what he says: That interacting with things always involves the complexity of experiencing and learning.
Kant’s philosophy supports the thinking, imagining, and rational tester to collaboratively engaging the team to educate people who matter on things that matter. The outcome we search for is driving collaboration and development in the organization.
After the talk, we’ll be able to say “transcendental knowledge” and understand what it means; we’ll understand the basics of Kant’s philosophy; we’ll know why intuitions sometimes matter more than facts when people collaborate about experiencing and learning; finally, we’ll see the power of narratives as the rational way to express what’s real and what’s not and helping stakeholders gain trust and good gut feeling about the system.
Key Takeaways:
- Avoid the trap of thinking everything we believe is real and true
- Avoid the trap of being skeptical about everything and anything
- Understand the basics of Kant’s philosophy and help people collaborate on learning.
