Kenneth Boulding : General Systems Theory (1956) (6002 words) |
 | Science, that is to say, is what can be talked about profitably by scientists in their role as scientists. |
| The more science breaks into sub-groups, and the less communication is possible among the disciplines, however, the greater chance there is that the total growth of knowledge is being slowed down by the loss of relevant communications. |
| There is hardly a science in which the growth phenomenon does not have some importance, and though there is a great difference in complexity between the growth of crystals, embryos, and societies, many of the principles and concepts which are important at the lower levels are also illuminating at higher levels. |
| Cognitive Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (3831 words) |
| Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology. |
| Cognitive science is becoming increasingly aware of the need to view the operations of mind in particular physical and social environments. |
| Although the computational-representational approach to cognitive science has been successful in explaining many aspects of human problem solving, learning, and language use, some philosophical critics such as Hubert Dreyfus (1992) and John Searle (1992) have claimed that this approach is fundamentally mistaken. |
