Rules and Representations: Chomsky and Representational Realism
Speaking as someone who has personally felt the influence of the “Chomskian Turn”, I believe that one of Chomsky’s most significant contributions to Psychology, or as it is now called, Cognitive Science was to bring back scientific realism. This may strike you as a very odd claim, for one does not usually think of science as needing to be talked into scientific realism. Science is, after all, t...
متن کاملTheism & Mathematical Realism
Historically, most mathematicians have believed that mathematical truths such as "2+5=7" exist independently of human minds, being universally and eternally true. Mathematicians believe they are discovering properties of, say, prime numbers, rather than merely inventing them. This view of mathematics dates back to Pythagoras (500 BC) and Plato (400 BC). It is often called “Platonism”. In order ...
متن کاملLinguistic realism in mathematical epistemology
One project in the epistemology of mathematics is to find a defensible account of what passes for mathematical knowledge. This study contributes to this project by examining philosophical theories of mathematics governed by certain basic assumptions. Foremost amongst these is the “linguistic realism” of the title. Roughly put, this is the view that the semantics of mathematical sentences should...
متن کاملNon-Representational Interaction Design
This paper presents how non-representational views of cognition can inform interaction design as it moves from traditional graphical user interfaces to more bodily forms of interaction such as gesture or movement tracking. We argue that the true value of these “bodily” interfaces is that they can tap our prior skills for interacting in the world. However, these skills are highly non-representat...
متن کاملNon-representational Sensorimotor Knowledge
The sensorimotor approach argues that in order to perceive one needs to first “master” the relevant sensorimotor contingencies, and then exercise the acquired practical know-how to become “attuned” to the actual and potential contingencies a particular situation entails. But the approach provides no further detail about how this mastery is achieved or what precisely it means to become attuned t...
