Why call this product “applied philosophy”?
ANSWER:ANSWER: Because its design, including its expert system, was largely shaped by 2,500 years of philosophy.
QUESTION:QUESTION:
![Page 21: Walking the Sunlit Path](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/556413b9d8b42aa9518b5e07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If there is a roadblock in the dialog, the expert system can be consulted to diagnose its source.
Example: Is a group reality check needed?
![Page 22: Walking the Sunlit Path](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/556413b9d8b42aa9518b5e07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The system can then recommend actions -
List the central facts related to the Topic.
Do the teams agree on these?
If not, focus on resolving the disagreements.
![Page 23: Walking the Sunlit Path](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/556413b9d8b42aa9518b5e07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The system can also recommend high quality resources for particular types of issues.
