生命与心智的强连续性论题是生成认知科学的核心工作假设,它所面临的最大挑战是认知鸿沟问题,即生命与心智的基本现象与人类的高级认知现象之间存在着一条难以逾越的鸿沟。生成认知科学认为,造成这一困境的根本原因在于没有质疑传统认知科学中盛行的方法论的个体主义假设,因此克服认知鸿沟的关键在于系统考察社会性对生命和心智的本构作用。为此,生成认知科学立足于其本有的生成主义范式,从理论生物学和现象学两大视角,详细论证连续性论题的合理性,并对认知鸿沟问题进行有效的双向处理。 The strong continuity of life and mind is the core hypothesis of cognitive science. The biggest challenge it faces is the cognitive gap between the basic phenomena of life and mind and the advanced cognition of human beings Passing the gap. Generative cognitive science believes that the root cause of this predicament lies in not questioning the individualistic assumptions of methodology that prevailed in traditional cognitive science. Therefore, the key to overcoming the cognitive gap is to systematically examine the constitutive effects of sociality on life and mind. For this reason, cognitive science is based on its own paradigm of generativeism. From the two perspectives of theoretical biology and phenomenology, the rationality of continuum theses is demonstrated in detail, and the cognitive gap is dealt with effectively.
