An Eco-Cognitive Model of Ignorance Immunization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2005, Woods described the epistemic bubble as an immunized state of human cognition that compromises the awareness of the agent about her beliefs and knowledge. The idea of an immunized knower swung with the proposal advanced by Gabbay and Woods of constructing a practical logic and epistemology, which can actually define itself as agent-centered, goal-oriented, and resource-bound. In order to carry out this project, in this paper we will introduce a symmetrical view on the agent immunization, focused on the agent’s missing awareness of her ignorance, also highlighting the importance of considering the actual agent as cogently ignorant, too.

The Eco-Cognitive Model of Abduction (EC-Model). Is Abduction Really Ignorance-Preserving?
From the logical point of view, abduction is a procedure in which something that lacks classical explanatory epistemic virtue can be accepted because it has virtue of another kind: the GW-Model contends that abduction presents an ignorancepreserving or (ignorance-mitigating) character. From this perspective abductive reasoning is a response to an ignoranceproblem. Is abduction really ignorance-...

Background: Stress immunization training is a combination of the best cognitive-behavioral elements. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of stress-induced immunostimulatory training on psychophysiologic indices (salivary cortisol) and psychological indicators (anxiety, stress and depression) in patients with coronary artery bypass graft. Materials and methods: In this Se...
متن کاملIntratumoral vaccination with vaccinia-expressed tumor antigen and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor overcomes immunological ignorance to tumor antigen.
Using a murine transitional cell carcinoma tumor model, MB49, which naturally expresses the male antigen HY, we evaluated whether tumor ignorance as determined by lack of a systemic immune response could be overcome by immunization with vaccinia expressed tumor antigen and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Systemic tumor ignorance of MB49 was demonstrated by the lack of a spleni...
متن کاملThe Virtues and Vices of Biased Rationality: An Eco-Cognitive Account
This paper aims at illustrating the virtues and vices of biased rationality. Starting with the virtues of biased rationality, we will illustrate the idea of Homo Heuristicus along with its fallacious dimension. We will claim that the rationale of biased rationality consists in turning ignorance into a cognitive virtue. More precisely, we will argue that biases provide us with premissory startin...
متن کاملDynamics of an eco-epidemic model with stage structure for predator
The predator-prey model with stage structure for predator is generalized in the context of ecoepidemiology, where the prey population is infected by a microparasite and the predator completely avoids consuming the infected prey. The intraspecific competition of infected prey is considered. All the equilibria are characterized and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibriu...
