What is human nature? How is language related to thought - and
should the connection be investigated socially or scientifically?
Is external reality coherent or fragmented? What are the
foundations of rationality, and how trustworthy are they? Such
questions have bedevilled thinkers for millennia. Contemporary
scholars have harnessed enormous resources to find answers, yet
their inquiry is invariably constrained by the tunnel vision of
academic specialisation. This issue of The Dolphin seeks to
establish common ground among the disciplines examining the
mind-brain continuum. Among those meeting the editors' challenge to
think outside the disciplinary box are Noam Chomsky, John Searle
and Steven Pinker, as well as a dozen others from the fields of
neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, English,
computer science and ethnography. The implicit framework that
results should help researchers in all fields locate the diversity
of human knowing within a joint ontological perspective.
