This book presents a theoretical critical appraisal of the Mechanistic Theory of Human Cognition (MTHC), which is one of the most popular major theories in the contemporary field of cognitive science. It analyses and evaluates whether MTHC provides a unifying account of human cognition and its explanation. The book presents a systematic investigation of the internal and external consistency of the theory, as well as a systematic comparison with other contemporary major theories in the field. In this sense, it provides a fresh look at more recent major theoretical debates in this area of scientific research and a rigorous analysis of one of its most central major theories. Rigorous theoretical work is integrated with objective consideration of relevant empirical evidence, making the discussions robust and clear. As a result, the book shows that MTHC provides a significant theoretical contribution for the field of cognitive science. The content is useful for those interested in theoretical and empirical issues concerning major theories in the contemporary field of cognitive science.

This book provides a systematic presentation of some of the most relevant contemporary major theories of human cognition. Each theory is analyzed in terms of their origins, central idea, central theoretical elements, empirical evidence and major criticism. This analysis shows the advantages and disadvantages in each theoretical system, thus providing reasonable means for evaluating and comparing these proposals. The discussions are often supported by empirical research, mainly from fields such as cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence, and they are combined with rigorous theoretical and argument analysis. The content, therefore, can be helpful for many contemporary central debates concerning the topic of human cognition.

The recurring theme, Augustine and Time, holds sway in both academic and popular works. However, most of the efforts focus on his Confessions XI, unfortunately, neglecting the rest of his corpus. Even in a cursory reading of it, a twin factor stands out and it permeates the entire corpus: The cluster of temporal notions he uses holds many more beyond the concepts of time and eternity and, its being posited in the cognition of the human mind. This serendipitous observation necessitates a hermeneutical probe into the inextricable link between temporal notions and human cognition. Taking the untrodden path, this probe begins with an analysis of Augustine’s conversion narrative, since the inseparable intertwining of temporality and human cognition is first observable in the philosophical and theological matters he experienced then. The cognitive capabilities for perception, belief and language, and the mind’s concern with reality, rationality and relationality are examined to show the way human cognition gives rise to complex temporality rather than just the notions of time and eternity. The Appendix argues Augustine and Neuroscience could dialogue on temporality in human cognition.

This book explores how AI and mechanism design can provide a new framework for international politics. The international political system is all manners in which countries, governments and people relate. Mechanism design in international politics relates to identifying rules that define relationships between people and countries that achieve a particular outcome, e.g., peace or more trade or democracy or economic development. Artificial intelligence is technique of making machines intelligent. This book explores mechanism design and artificial intelligence in international politics and applies these technologies to politics, economy and society. This book will be of interest to scholars of international relations, politics, sustainable development, and artificial intelligence.

Two seminal articles by a founder of the Gestalt school of psychology, newly translated and accompanied by essays that connect his work to current research. There are few articles in science that remain relevant over a span of 100 years; Max Wertheimer's pioneering experimental studies on apparent motion and figural organization are notable exceptions. Wertheimer's 1912 account of motion perception started a revolution and established the Gestalt school of psychology. It also paved the way for further investigations of apparent motion perception, including subsequent research by Oliver Braddick, Stuart Anstis, Vilaynur Ramachandran, and others. Wertheimer's 1923 article on figural organization (known as the "dot study" for its numerous examples of dot patterns) helped define grouping as a principle of figure-ground perception. This book provides contemporary readers and researchers with Wertheimer's two pivotal articles, newly translated into English and each accompanied by a synopsis, and two essays on apparent motion and figural organization that describe the long-term impact of Wertheimer's work. The translation of the original German into readable English prose allows English-language readers for the first time to appreciate Wertheimer's visionary ideas. The accompanying essays tie Wertheimer's phenomenological descriptions to the underlying neuronal mechanisms, bridging the years between the articles' first publication and modern research.

Psycholinguistics is an interdisciplinary field, and hence relationships are at its heart. First and foremost is the relationship between its two parent disciplines, psychology and linguistics, a relationship which has changed and advanced over the half century of the field's independent existence. At the beginning of the 21st Century, psycholinguistics forms part of the rapidly developing enterprise known as cognitive neuroscience, in which the relationship between biology and behavior plays a central role. Psycholinguistics is about language in communication, so that the relationship between language production and comprehension has always been important, and as psycholinguistics is an experimental discipline, it is likewise essential to find the right relationship between model and experiment. This book focuses in turn on each of these four cornerstone relationships: Psychology and Linguistics, Biology and Behavior, Production and Comprehension, and Model and Experiment. The authors are from different disciplinary backgrounds, but share a commitment to clarify the ways that their research illuminates the essential nature of the psycholinguistic enterprise.

Education is the fundamental pillar upon which any human civilization rests. As a matter of fact, no civilization in any meaningful form or degree has been possible in human history that has not been built on the bulwark and edifice of education. While literacy may have been limited to the privileged few in early ancient civilizations, it was these privileged few who controlled the masses and set the tempo for meaningful progress in such civilizations; educational systems have proven to be the bedrock and foundational pillar upon which much of human accomplishment and achievement have rested, too. In spite of the naysayers, the cynics and the pessimists, education has expanded greatly in the twentieth century; while the worlds’ earliest civilizations were not western in the canonical sense of the term, there is no denying that western civilizations have pulled away strongly since then. Riding on the shoulders on ancient Greece, western intellectualism has been the bulwark upon which the superstructure of modern civilization has been built. Even as recently as the middle of the twentieth century, the rest of the world (as opposed to the west) had a lot of catching up to do. Thankfully and mercifully, a lot has changed since then. India in the 1950’s and 1960’s emphasized higher education but neglected universal primary education as evidenced by low primary school enrollments, and a high rate of dropouts. Since then, programs and schemes such as the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan or education for all programs have increased primary school enrollment considerably; India now comfortably stands on the threshold of universal adult literacy. While the quantity of education has been augmented, quality has often failed to keep pace. The tenets and the essential doctrines forming a part and parcel of the foundational pillars of pedagogy and education are antiquated and are still steeped in the western experience. What is worse is that is very little awareness on the issue of the need for change; this must be the foundation of all meaningful change, but alas, that foundation has yet to be built. In this book, we draw upon our long list of papers on the social science, particularly anthropological pedagogy and the sociology of science, and propose the direction we believe pedagogy must take in the twenty first century. This can be no one man army; we invite other scholars to contribute in eminent measure. We also believe that this i.e., a foundational assessment of the concepts of pedagogy must become one of the more important and vital movements of the twentyfirst century. This work is also at the heart of our globalization of science movement as many, if not most concepts in various fields of the social science are based on old and archaic western-centric paradigms. There is also an unnatural gap between various fields of social sciences and the non-social sciences too, just as careerism is rampant across disciplines and what we called “institutional coherentism” is lacking. Scientists say “however, recent research has shown that…”. Does that mean that old research was wrong? Why was it wrong? Was it due to the absence of data, or was it methodological error? Why do we go round and round without a meaningful long-term direction? Very little scholarship is driven by the absolute desire to do good to society. As Thomas Paine once famously stated, “ A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody”. We have theories, theories and only theories all driven by old-fashioned careerism or academic rivalry, and with limited explanatory power. All this needs to change in the twenty-first century, and practical application of knowledge emphasized. To quote C.S Lewis, “Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.” Anand Mahindra and several other individuals have repeatedly called for a new world-class education system in India and elsewhere, but there is very little conceptual clarity on how we should go about creating one. Let a million scholars bloom! Let a million intellectuals bloom! Let a million scientists (social scientists included) bloom in different parts of the world, all in the twenty-first century! Why should we hold our tongue, and suffer in silence? Let intellectuals drive meaningful and productive change. Let better education systems form the backbone of better societies! Let there be a healthy rivalry among nations to develop better and better education systems! There is no need for only western nations to take the lead here. Those who have better ideas can indeed leapfrog everyone else. Those who think better and do better, win.

Unlike the bulk majority of publications on philosophy of science and research ethics, which are authored by professional philosophers and intended for philosophers, this book has been written by a research practitioner and intended for research practitioners. It is distinctive by its integrative approach to methodological and ethical issues related to research practice, with special emphasis of mathematical modelling and measurement, as well as by attempted application of engineering design methodology to moral decision making. It is also distinctive by more than 200 real-world examples drawn from various domains of science and technology. It is neither a philosophical treaty nor a quick-reference guide. It is intended to encourage young researchers, especially Ph.D. students, to deeper philosophical reflection over research practice. They are not expected to have any philosophical background, but encouraged to consult indicated sources of primary information and academic textbooks containing syntheses of information from primary sources. This book can be a teaching aid for students attending classes aimed at identification of methodological and ethical issues related to technoscientific research, followed by introduction to the methodology of analysing dilemmas arising in this context.
