Cognitive scientist ??? A Scientist of Thought???? Hmmm.........
I don't want to put a spanner in the cogs of global culture or anything but this term reminds me of the Orwell observation:
"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle." - George Orwell.
Translated into even planer Inglish - obvious things are often ignored or go unrealised.....
I have a problem with the term "Cognitive Science" alone......
"All definite knowledge — so I should contend — belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology.
But between theology and science there is a No Man’s Land, exposed to attack by both sides; this No Man’s Land is philosophy."
Bertrand Russell.
I thort a science of thort and the mind was Psychology.
Cognition is the process of thinking itself.
.......
The definition of this "Multi-Disciplinary Multi Discipline":) as according to wiki....
is maybe rather unweildy....
People like Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins are seeking the definitive defeat of the Theology trench so to speak.
A pretty futile trench war! :)
Leaving that aside! :
Are they taking us any further into genuine science - facts about the world - by destroying one trench in a Pyrrhic victory?......
