Evolutionary Psychology and the Unity of Sciences - Towards an evolutionary epistemology
2012
epus-tee-chapter
This work concerns a non-traditional approach to the unity of sciences, based on a challenging, albeit conjectural, articulation of views proceeding from Evolutionary Psychology and Biology, non monotonic and decision Logics, and Artificial Intelligence. The resulting amalgam sets forth a consilience stance, wherefore the unity of science is heuristically presupposed by means of a set of pragmatic and productive default assumptions. It is by virtue of them that we conduct scientific inquiry, the consilience arising from a presumed unity of objective reality, itself of a heuristic and pragmatic conception. The attending hinges to Artificial Intelligence inevitably suggest the emergence of an innovative symbiotic form of evolutionary epistemology.
