- Cognitive thinking.
According to Descartes:
What is not knowable is not mental.
Emotions are only physical states.
R. Rorty
(Philosophy and the mirror of nature, 1979)
- Understanding.
Is understanding, perhaps, the excitement from finding a probable structure of seemingly coherent thoughts in order to satisfy one's hankering feelings?
Is that why we try to understand over and over again?
Curiosity or security, competition or arrogance?
A technician
- Perception.
He, who's only tool is a hammer, will see in everything a nail.
Anonymous
- Artificial Intelligence.
A computer so stolid and stern,
can simulate man to a turn.
Though it lacks flesh and bones,
and erogenous zones,
it can teach.....
but, oh can man learn?
S. Messick
(Computer models and personality theory, 1963)
quoted by J. LeDoux
(The emotional brain, 1996)
