The idea of a cognitive science
No full textThis thesis offers an exposition followed by a critique of the science of cognition. As a philosophical work the concern is with the theoretical assumptions made by philosophers of cognitive science, rather than with experimental data accumulated by researchers in the field.The exposition divides into three chapters, each devoted to a particular approach to the task of explaining intelligent behaviour. The three approaches are Computationalism, Eliminativism, and Connectionism, and the main theoretical assumptions of each are uncovered through exegesis of the work of influential advocates of the approach. The first two approaches are distinguished by their stance on the issue of the ontological status of cognitive states. Computationalists are cast as Realists about these states whilst Eliminativists are presented as Irrealists. The Connectionists are portrayed either as adopting one of these stances, or as attempting to establish a hybrid position.The first three chapters of the critique explore arguments against Realism and, in particular, the theoretical assumption of internal content bearing states, or representations. The three lines or argument prosecuted are intended to disclose, firstly, the threat of an infinite regress of representations and representation using subjects, secondly, an impossibility of a naturalistic account of the representational content of propositional attitude states and, thirdly, an impossibility of a similar account of the normative aspect of language use and reasoning. The fourth chapter of critique explores ramifications of the arguments for Realists and for those who would decline Realism but retain aspirations of a science of cognition. The last chapter of the thesis offers a refutation of the Eliminiativist version of Irrealism by undermining two assumptions required for the first of the two premises of its argument.The conclusion, that the idea of a cognitive science is a misconception, suggests that the route much philosophy of mind has taken, in the last quarter of a century, is misdirected.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
