Fourati, Abdelkarim: Life and cognitive science

A scientific revolution is underway in life sciences, medicine and artificial intelligence. And humanity is currently in transition from a matter/energy logic to an information/cognition logic. This book discusses these concepts within the framework of a new theory that the author has called cognodynamics. In fact, this transition can only be successfully completed through a qualitative approach to information/cognition. In other words, what's needed is a scientific revolution comparable, but in the opposite direction, to Galileo's revolution in "physical science", which is a quantitative approach to the movement of matter. Excessive specialization in medicine is a dogma in our time, yet we see that the most important advances are the fruit of interdisciplinary research. The same applies to research in the fields of "life sciences". Above all, it's about appealing to scientists, asking them to become aware of the limits of analytical procedures, and inviting them to adopt a more holistic, synthetic conception of the phenomena they study. This book is aimed at readers with an interest in scientific culture.
