Sommario/riassunto |

"In this wide-ranging book, one of the boldest thinkers in modern neuroscience confronts an ancient philosophical problem: can we know the world as it really is? Drawing on provocative new findings about the psychophysiology of perception and judgment in both human and nonhuman primates, and also on the cultural history of science, Jean-Pierre Changeux makes a powerful case for the reality of scientific progress and argues that it forms the basis for a coherent and universal theory of human rights. On this view, belief in objective knowledge is not a mere ideological slogan or a naïve confusion; it is a characteristic feature of human cognition throughout evolution, and the scientific method its most sophisticated embodiment. Seeking to reconcile science and humanism, Changeux holds that the capacity to recognize |

truths that are independent of subjective personal experience constitutes the foundation of a human civil society." |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In recent years, the relationship with knowledge has undergone profound changes due to the expansion of digital technologies and interactive communication networks. Most people have experienced intense use of these technologies, which has directly affected their mental and social structures. The cognitive abilities of the subjects, in these digital grafocentric societies, require new and differentiated teaching-learning processes. Such clarity then requires different perspectives in analyzing the educational world, which is quite different - in the face of new audiences, new needs and new possibilities. Being and emerging and embryonic theme, there are still many gaps in this area's scientific literature, lacking new reflections and studies. Thus, the present work seeks to contribute to discussions of specific and necessary themes for this new vision of education, which aims at developing in its students varied interdisciplinary skills, adequate to the demands of the present millennium. This book aims to meet the interests of those who think or do quality education, exploiting the potential of emerging technologies. |
