Cognition and Society: Prolegomenon to a Dialog

Résumé

One of the original and putative goals of cognitive science is to describe and explain causal links between individual minds, on the one side, and the collective phenomena of society on the other. Yet, substantive connections are still only patchy at best, and deep methodological and philosophical differences are a persistent thorn in the side of further progress. Addressing this problem is critical both for the future advancement of cognitive science in its own right, and to increase its broader societal relevance. Here, we describe how future advances can be catalyzed by new and innovative fora for dialogue across the cognitive-societal divide. Such dialogues, and the synthetic research programs they might provoke, would not only advance knowledge and understanding in their own right, but also increase returns on existing bodies of more specialized knowledge. They would also put to work one the major findings of cognitive science itself, namely that human reasoning functions most effectively in interactive contexts.
