Cognitive Adaptation: A Pragmatist Perspective argues that there is
a fundamental link between cognitive/neural systems and evolution
that underlies human activity. One important result is that the
line between nature and culture and scientific and humanistic
inquiry is quite permeable - the two are fairly continuous with
each other. Two concepts figure importantly in our human ascent:
agency and animacy. The first is the recognition of another person
as having beliefs, desires, and a sense of experience. The second
term is the recognition of an object as alive, a piece of biology.
Both reflect a predilection in our cognitive architecture that is
fundamental to an evolving, but fragile, sense of humanity. The
book further argues for a regulative norm of self-corrective
inquiry, an appreciation of the hypothetical nature of all
knowledge. Schulkin's perspective is rooted in contemporary
behavioral and cognitive neuroscience.
