Literary Genre of Science Fiction In Darko Suvin’s “Metamorphoses of Science Fiction,” Suvin argues that science fiction should be considered its own literary genre. The reason he believes science fiction is distinct from other literary genres is because of its transforming aspects. Suvin describes science fiction as the literature of “cognitive estrangement,” which includes a “novum”. It is his belief that both cognition and estrangement must be both present and interactive in science fiction. Although

A scientific paradigm has three basic characteristics: a series of assertions that provide a model of the object of study, a group of common metaphors that assist with comprehension of the object of study, and a methodology that is accepted by the scientific community to provide legitimate and valuable data when carried out correctly.

The Philosophy of Cognitive Science Psychophysical dualism — the distinction between mind and body — is the counterposition between essentially irreducible elements: the mind and body. Such a dualism implies the main ontological problem of the philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of mind: the mind-body problem (MBP). The dualism and the referred-to problem has been insistently discussed in the philosophical tradition and several solutions have been proposed. Such solutions are properly
Gary Hatfield in his article “Psychology, Philosophy and Cognitive Science: Reflections on The History and Philosophy of Experimental Psychology ’’ published in journal of Mind and Language on 3rd June 2002 volume number 17 by Blackwell Publishers focuses on critically examining the views that psychology came into existence in 1879 and how finally it became scientific through the influence of logical empiricism. The article puts forward evidence to justify that there was a conspiracy among the early

What is it to be convincing? At first, this appears as a simple question, right? What do you think the answer is? Take a moment before reading on. The hint we offer is that this is a “practical” question. While it is easy to suggest that the answer to this is merely of “academic” concern, we contend, it is not so simple. Let’s begin. A few strategies seem to be a reasonable interpretation of the question. First, the question seems too vague and it seems likely there would be an urge to ask for more
