Cogitation on Thort Science.

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?......
