The book analyses the concept of discoverability, and some current
epistemological problems related to it, with a special attention to
science. It shows that discoverability is closely related to the
sustainability of human creativity in an "eco-cognitive"
perspective. Advocating the need of an integral ecology and
leveraging the important concept of abduction, it demonstrates that
an ecology of human creativity should have priority over other
needs, i.e that the first ecological duty is to protect and sustain
discoverability. Enhancing discoverability will protect human
creativity, and it is exactly human creativity, a form of
innovative abductive cognition, that can promote the implementation
of the other kinds of ecology. The author guides readers through a
comprehensive discussion on the concept of discoverability,
eco-cognitive situatedness, and eco-cognitive openness and closure
alike. By describing some key real-world examples, he highlights
the main challenges that are currently posed to human creativity
and epistemic integrity. He also describes future eco-cognitive
settings, discussing the problem of overcomputationalism and
suggesting a reinterpretation of the role of human knowledge.
Overall, this book fills an important gap in the literature on the
nexus abduction – creativity – discovery, offering a
source of inspiration to philosophers, epistemologists, and
cognitive scientists. Yet, it also addresses researchers in other
disciplines interested in the problems of scientific discovery and
epistemic integrity of research.
