Abstract:

An examination of children's causal reasoning capacities and how those capacities serve as the foundation of their scientific thinking. Young children have remarkable capacities for causal reasoning, which are part of the foundation of their scientific thinking abilities. In Constructing Science, Deena Weisberg and David Sobel trace the ways that young children's sophisticated causal reasoning abilities combine with other cognitive, metacognitive, and social factors to develop into a more mature set of scientific thinking abilities. Conceptualizing scientific thinking as the suite of skills th

Pieters, Céline. Words of Robotics. Lexington Books, 2025. https://doi.org/10.5040/9781978747302.

Abstract:

The Words of Robotics addresses how scientific and technological advancements shape the words and expressions that form the basis of humans’ representations and stories. Focusing on how the movements of robots are perceived and described in everyday language, Céline Pieters highlights both the potential and the challenges of the discourses about robotics, through a rhetorical approach. This approach allows one to go beyond the reductionisms of either overstating the abilities and power of robots or reducing the discourse to a specialized, mere technical language.

Abstract:

More than just a collection of factual entries, this rich resource explores the difference between scientific and pseudoscientific pursuits in a way that spurs readers to ask questions and formulate answers. What makes science science? How do we tell which assertions, beliefs, and methods are scientifically sound, and which are not? Brian Regal's authoritative, entertaining new reference, Pseudoscience: A Critical Encyclopedia gets at the heart of these questions by helping readers understand how the scientific method works, how to critically analyze all kinds of "evidence," and how to sort th

Abstract:

Causal powers are ubiquitous. Electrons are negatively charged; they have the power to repel other electrons. Water is a solvent; it has the power to dissolve salt. Rocks are hard; they have the power to break windows. We use concepts of causal powers and their relatives—dispositions, capacities, abilities, and so on—to describe the world around us, both in everyday life and in scientific practice. But what is it about the world that makes such descriptions apt? While most philosophers agree it is appropriate to use causal power concepts to describe the world, there is substantive disagreement

Abstract:

Abstract What is human mind, and how does it work? These questions have occupied humanity since antiquity, but only a hundred years ago became a topic of rigorous scientific investigation. Cognitive architectures are a part of the long-standing effort to understand how human mind and brain operate by designing and implementing computational models in software and hardware. The field of cognitive architectures emerged at the intersection artificial intelligence and cognitive science and in less than 50 years of its existence led to creation of hundreds of projects, many of which are still being

Abstract:

In her comprehensive and carefully crafted book, Gisela Kaplan demonstrates how intelligent and emotional Australian birds can be. She describes complex behaviours such as grieving, deception, problem solving and the use of tools. Many Australian birds cooperate and defend each other, and exceptional ones go fishing by throwing breadcrumbs in the water, extract poisonous parts from prey and use tools to crack open eggshells and mussels. The author brings together evidence of many such cognitive abilities, suggesting plausible reasons for their appearance in Australian birds.  Bird

Abstract:

As the guidelines of human attitudes and behavior, the values are extremely important for individuals and for the society. All major societal flaws (violence, war, aggression, criminal, delinquency, lawlessness, corruption, ecological devastation, terrorism, totalitarianism, exploitation, misery, poverty, hunger, starvation, ignorance, fanaticism and others) are result of behavior that is as odd with basic human values. Thus, a value-congruent behavior is a necessary condition for stable and successful society and the strengthening of value-aligned behavior is a planetary task. Psychological r
