| Summary: | When applied to daily practice, scientific theories inevitably lead to
ethical consequences that are rarely mentioned. Nowadays, when the majority of
countries in the world seem to be free of authoritarian governments, it is important
to pay attention to a new and active form of authoritarianism. It comes from
the hypothesis that the world is the same for everybody, and therefore must be
perceived like that. This hypothesis works as the basis of the standardization of
collective mind by well-defined worldwide marketing strategies. Their scientific
basis can be traced to theories such as the computationalist and the connexionist
models of cognitive science. There is, however, a third approach the enactive
model of cognitive science , that proposes that the world in which we live is
constructed by ourselves along with our interactions with it, in the very flow of the
living process. When lead to practice, this approach has the potential to produce
ethical consequences opposed to those seen in the case of the two aforementioned
approaches to cognitive science. |
