What function is played by concepts related to meaning and
mereology in the cognitive sciences? How can one outline adequate
simulation models for the continuous emergence of new
categorization forms characterizing cognitive processes? To what
extent is it possible to define new measures of meaningful
complexity? How is it possible to describe synergetically the
symbolic dynamics inherent in cognitive processes? What types of
formal models should we use to describe the evolutionary aspects of
cognition? These, the most difficult questions in cognitive
science, are discussed here in 15 original essays written by
distinguished scholars drawn from a variety of disciplines. The
first part presents an up-to-date account of some current trends in
the functional modeling of cognitive activities, the synergetic
models in particular are widely discussed. The second part focuses
on recent advances in complexity theory, self-organizing networks,
the theory of self- reference, and the theory of self organization.
The third part focuses on some methods of formal analysis that can
be used to delineate consistent simulation models of cognitive
activities at the perceptual, linguistic and computational levels.
The volume also highlights traditional philosophical concerns about
realism, the cognitivism-connectionism debate, and the role of
holistic assumptions. Readership: psychologists, cognitive
scientists, theorists working in complexity theory,
self-organization theory, synergetics, semantics of natural
language and mereology, philosophers, epistemologists.
