Abstract

"In Hot Thought, Paul Thagard describes the mental mechanisms - cognitive, neural, molecular, and social - that interact to produce different kinds of human thinking, from everyday decision making to legal reasoning, scientific discovery, and religious belief, and he discusses when and how thinking and reasoning should be emotional." "Thagard argues that an understanding of emotional thinking needs to integrate the cognitive, neural, molecular, and social levels. Many of the chapters employ computational models of various levels of thinking, including HOTCO (hot cognition) models and the more neurologically realistic GAGE model. Thagard uses these models to illuminate thinking in the domains of law, science, and religion, discussing such topics as the role of doubt and reasonable doubt in legal and other contexts, valuable emotional habits for successful scientists, and the emotional content of religious beliefs. Identifying and assessing the impact of emotion, Thagard argues, can suggest ways to improve the process of reasoning."--Jacket.

Abstract

Why do people have religious ideas? And why thosereligious ideas? The main theme of Pascal Boyer's work is that important aspects of religious representations are constrained by universal properties of the human mind-brain. Experimental results from developmental psychology, he says, can explain why certain religious representations are more likely to be acquired, stored, and transmitted by human minds. Considering these universal constraints, Boyer proposes an exciting new answer to the question of why similar religious representations are found in so many different cultures. His work will be widely discussed by cultural anthropologists, psychologists, and students of religion, history, and philosophy.

Abstract

Comment le cerveau filtre et reconstruit les données du monde extérieur ? Peut-on parler d'une pensée animale ? Y a-t-il plusieurs types de mémoires, d'intelligences ? Qu'est-ce que la conscience ? Depuis un quart de siècle, les sciences cognitives ont profondément renouvelé la façon de concevoir l'esprit humain. La perception, la mémoire, l'intelligence, le raisonnement, le langage, la conscience : cet ouvrage présente les principales découvertes issues de la psychologie cognitive, de l'intelligence artificielle, des neurosciences, de la philosophie de l'esprit.
