Methodological Cognitivism
Methodological Cognitivism
This book deals with the cognitive foundation of the theory of social action. The social sciences are stillguided by models of social action, far from the empirical reality of the psychology of action. While economics seems to have made greater progress in accepting the changes to the theory of action derived from cognitive science (see, for example, the 2002 Nobel prizefor economics awarded to Daniel Kahneman), sociology is still being oriented on the dualism ofhermeneutics vs. structuralism, which leaves very little room for a cognitive theory of social action. The unique features of the book are its combination ofepistemology, philosophy of mind and cognitive science in order to renew and overcome the limits of the current methodologies of social science and in particular methodological individualism. Methodological cognitivism is proposed as an alternativeto the holistic character of structuralism, to the intentionalist and rationalist features of methodological individualism, and to the relativistic character of hermeneutics and ethnomethodology.
