دانلود کتاب The Semantic Sphere 1: Computation, Cognition and Information Economy

The new digital media offers us an unprecedented memory capacity, an ubiquitous communication channel and a growing computing power. How can we exploit this medium to augment our personal and social cognitive processes at the service of human development? Combining a deep knowledge of humanities and social sciences as well as a real familiarity with computer science issues, this book explains the collaborative construction of a global hypercortex coordinated by a computable metalanguage. By recognizing fully the symbolic and social nature of human cognition, we could transform our current opaque global brain into a reflexive collective intelligence.Content: Chapter 1 General Introduction (pages 1–36): Chapter 2 The Nature of Information (pages 41–73): Chapter 3 Symbolic Cognition (pages 75–87): Chapter 4 Creative Conversation (pages 89–111): Chapter 5 Toward an Epistemological Transformation of the Human Sciences (pages 113–134): Chapter 6 The Information Economy (pages 135–158): Chapter 7 Introduction to the Scientific Knowledge of the Mind (pages 161–188): Chapter 8 The Computer Science Perspective: Toward a Reflexive Intelligence (pages 189–206): Chapter 9 General Presentation of the IEML Semantic Sphere (pages 207–234): Chapter 10 The IEML Metalanguage (pages 235–252): Chapter 11 The IEML Semantic Machine (pages 253–273): Chapter 12 The Hypercortex (pages 275–297): Chapter 13 Hermeneutic Memory (pages 299–321): Chapter 14 The Perspective of the Humanities: Toward Explicit Knowledge (pages 323–339): Chapter 15 Observing Collective Intelligence (pages 341–352):
