Sumario: | This book explores the construction of reality through an integrated perspective combining cognitive science and philosophy. It delves into how individuals form mental schemas and how these contribute to the social construction of language, science, ideology, and religion. The authors, Mary B. Hesse and Michael A. Arbib, aim to reconcile individual cognitive processes with social constructs while addressing debates across philosophy, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and other disciplines. The book challenges readers to consider the nature of reality, free will, and the existence of God, presenting a synthesis of differing viewpoints to foster dialogue. It is intended for scholars and readers interested in cognitive science, philosophy, and the social sciences.
