Epistemic Complexity and Knowledge Construction
Morphogenesis, symbolic dynamics and beyond
The volume as its first target aims at clarifying that peculiar entanglement of complexity, causality, meaning, emergence and intentionality that characterises the unfolding of the natural forms of human cognition As is well known, cognition is not only a self-organising process. It is also a co-operative and coupled process. If we consider the external environment as a complex, multiple and stratified Source which interacts with the nervous system, we can easily realise that the cognitive activities devoted to the intelligent search for the depth information living in the Source, may determine the very change of the complexity conditions according to which the Source progressively expresses its wild action. In this sense, simulation models are not neutral or purely speculative: the true cognition actually appears to be necessarily connected with successful forms of reading, those forms, in particular, that permit a specific coherent unfolding of the deep information content of the Sourcave up to 80% versus print by going digital with VitalSource. .eText ISBN: 9789400760134
