What do we get when dipping a brain into science? Properties of the Scientific Mind

Institut Jean-Nicod

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

I argue that scientific cognition can be accounted for in a
massive modularity theoretical framework. Scientific cognition
is then described as a culturally informed reflection, allowed by
meta-representational abilities, upon the mandatory output of
preliminary modules.
