Cet ouvrage rassemble quelques-uns des travaux presentes au colloque tenu au Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle, en juin 1990, sous le titre [i]La Philosophie, les sciences humaines et l’etude de la cognition[/i]. – Les sciences cognitives sont constituees d’un ensemble de disciplines – psychologie, linguistique, intelligence artificielle, neurosciences, anthropologie – qui s’interessent aux capacites propres aux organismes superieurs de traiter et d’integrer divers types d’information, de former et de manipuler des representations mentales. Se pose alors la question de savoir si la philosophie est partie prenante de ce nouveau projet scientifique. Deux raisons au moins permettent de repondre par l’affirmative : – d’une part, parce que nombre de questions traditionnelles de la philosophie sont aujourd’hui reprises dans un contexte theorique nouveau et «naturalisees» (ainsi la question des rapports entre l’esprit et le corps, de la caracterisation de la pensee rationnel...

Comme toute science, les sciences cognitives soulèvent des problèmes éthiques, notamment à cause de leurs applications potentielles dans une variété considérable de domaines. L'éthique des sciences cognitives at -elle pour autant quelque chose de particulier ? Nous montrerons qu'elle se distingue sur trois points. En premier lieu, les problèmes sont nombreux et difficiles, en raison du triple caractère de l'interdisciplinarité du domaine, de sa jeunesse et de sa teneur humaine. En deuxième lieu, les sciences cognitives examinent sous l'angle des sciences de la nature certains aspects centraux de la condition humaine, et créent de ce fait un conflit potentiel avec des conceptions traditionnelles. Enfin, parce que parmi ces aspects figurent l'éthique et ses principaux corrélats, tels que le libre arbitre, la responsabilité, le mérite..., une question sans équivalent dans d'autres domaines est posée : celle de savoir si les recherches sur ces questions doivent, sur le plan éthique, être poursuivies, et si c'est le cas, comment parer aux éventuelles conséquences qu'elles auraient dans la société.

L'auteur presente ici un etat des lieux circonstancie des sciences cognitives et de leur apport potentiel au monde de l'education. Il s'efforce de dissiper les malentendus et de dedramatiser les craintes que suscite parfois ce nouvel acteur trop souvent accuse d'imperialisme scientiste et techniciste. Si les sciences cognitives ne peuvent pretendre etre ni devenir la science unique de l'education, elles peuvent en revanche apporter des eclairages inedits et precieux sur de nombreux aspects des processus cognitifs impliques dans les processus d'apprentissage et dans les processus educatifs en general. Dans ce tableau d'ensemble appuye sur differents exemples d'applications effectives ou potentielles, Daniel Andler montre pourquoi les sciences cognitives sont appelees a jouer un role de plus en plus important pour la pensee de l'education. Il 8 rappelle egalement les racines intellectuelles communes des sciences cognitives et des technologies de l&#...

We defend a functionalist approach to emotion that begins by focusing on emotions as central states with causal connections to behavior and to other cognitive states. The approach brackets the conscious experience of emotion, lists plausible features that emotions exhibit, and argues that alternative schemes (e.g., focusing on feelings or on neurobiology as the starting point) are unpromising candidates. We conclude with the benefits of our approach: one can study emotions in animals; one can look in the brain for the implementation of specific features; and one ends up with an architecture of the mind in which emotions are fully accommodated through their relations to the rest of cognition. Our article focuses on arguing for this general approach; as such, it is an essay in the philosophy of emotion rather than in the psychology or neuroscience of emotion.

What role does mathematics play in cognitive science today, what role should mathematics play in cognitive science tomorrow? The cautious short answers are: to the factual question, a rather modest role, except in peripheral areas to the normative question, a far greater role, as the peripherys place is reevaluated and as both cognitive science and mathematics grow. This paper aims at providing more detailed, perhaps more contentious answers.

The purpose of this paper is to characterize a dichotomous view of the current situation in the sciences of man and show it to be fallacious. On the view to be rejected, the sciences of man are undergoing the first serious attempt in history to thoroughly naturalize their subject matter and thus to put an end to their separate status. Progress has (on this view) been quite considerable in the disciplines in charge of the individual, while in the social sciences the outcome of the process is moot: the naturalistic social sciences are still in their infancy, and whether they will eventually engulf or at least profoundly transform the field of social science is unclear. The dichotomous conception pits two camps against one another. On the one hand, the advocates of the naturalistic social sciences maintain that they hold the key to the long‐awaited realization of the unity of science program and are set to put the social sciences on equal footing with the natural sciences as we know th...

Agnotology is the study of how doubt on scientific and technological issues is spuriously manufactured and disseminated with ulterior motives. The chapter discusses the counteracting strategies that have been proposed and find them wanting. An alternative is proposed.
