A dolgozat a tudat tulajdonságaiból indul ki (beszámoló képesség, élénkség, egységesség, koherencia), majd először az 1960-as években tekinti át a tudat iránt megindult érdeklődés első szakaszait, olyan jelenségekre összpontosítva, mint a verbális kondicionálás, az éberségi kontinuum, a hasítottagy-kísérletek, a tudat és a prefrontális működések kapcsolata. Azután áttekinti a mai természettudományos szemléletű tudatkutatás néhány vezető kérdését. Ilyenek a tudat neurobiológiai megfelelőinek keresése, az agykérgi helyektől (prefrontális rendszerek) a sajátos működésmódokig (gamma oszcilláció) s a tudatzavarok kérdéséig. Miközben egyre többet tudunk a tudatról, nem szabad felednünk, hogy számos kísérleti pszichológiai megfigyelés (előfeszítés, kétértelműségi aktiváció, figyelmi vakság) is arra mutat, hogy igen összetett jelenséggel van dolgunk, például szemantikai alapú viselkedéseink sem mindig hozzáférhetőek a tudatosság számára.

Music Psychology

Music can seem to be the human behavior that is least susceptible to explanation, but a long history exists of applying various frameworks to try to understand it. The cognitive science of music integrates ideas from philosophy, music theory, experimental psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and computer modeling to answer questions about music’s role in people’s lives. The art of music psychology is to bring rigorous scientific methodologies to questions about the human musical capacity while applying sophisticated humanistic approaches to framing and interpreting the science.

The Way

Over past thirty years there has been an increased interest in studying joint action across a number of different disciplines including psychology, sociology, cognitive anthropology, cognitive science, and philosophy. In this chapter we canvas recent philosophical and empirical research on joint action. Along the way we highlight embedded, embodied, extended, and enactive approaches and the challenges they pose for more orthodox approaches to joint action. We propose an ecumenical approach to the study of joint action. The cognitive science of joint action will have to integrate both high-level and low-level approaches across a variety of disciplines, including experimental psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy. A single unitary account is unlikely to capture the nuanced and complex nature of joint action. Instead, we argue that we should seek a better understanding of how various accounts coalesce into a tapestry of explanatory tools.

The World

This chapter argues that contemporary Western views have been unable to articulate together the loss of foundations for the self and for the world. There is no methodological basis for a middle way between objectivism and subjectivism (both forms of absolutism). In cognitive science and in experimental psychology, the fragmentation of the self occurs because the field is trying to be scientifically objective. Precisely because the self is taken as an object, like any other external object in the world, as an object of scientific scrutiny—precisely for that reason—it disappears from view. That is, the very foundation for challenging the subjective leaves intact the objective as a foundation. Ultimately, when contemporary traditions of thought discover groundlessness, it is viewed as negative, a breakdown of an ideal for doing science, for establishing philosophical truth with reason, or for living a meaningful life.
