This paper pertains mainly to art cognitonics, it is a significant branch of cognitonics, or the science about the human being in the digital world. The first aim of the paper is to consider a way of achieving cognitive engagement of the adolescents and university students at lectures on art cognitonics. The central idea is to expand the conceptual universe of the learners by means of messages conveyed by outstanding canvases and sculptures. Art cognitonics changes the perception of a work of art by the beholder in comparison with the traditional approach. The second aim is to state a new conception of a sci-fi museum (a science fiction museum), this conception is underpinned by cognitonics. The principal idea of the new conception is the creation of a thought-provoking space aiming at stimulating the process of perception of the power of thought, regarding thought as a value.

Abstract The 20th century saw extraordinary developments in the related fields of mathematical logic, computer science and philosophy. Gottlob Frege, who introduced the highly successful system of Predicate Calculus and a workable notion of mathematical proof, believed his Predicate Calculus to be an arithmetical language of concepts and pure thought. Martin Heidegger developed grave reservations about the pervasiveness of Frege’s method in the world,... The 20th century saw extraordinary developments in the related fields of mathematical logic, computer science and philosophy. Gottlob Frege, who introduced the highly successful system of Predicate Calculus and a workable notion of mathematical proof, believed his Predicate Calculus to be an arithmetical language of concepts and pure thought. Martin Heidegger developed grave reservations about the pervasiveness of Frege’s method in the world, believing that it inexorably leads to a bleeding out of meaning from human activities and a diminished understanding of the poetical complexity of the human being. He coined the phrase “technicity” to describe the culture of our modern world which attempts to objectify everything in it and manipulate it logistically. Although Heidegger believed that “only a God can save us”, we will be focusing here on efforts to employ theatricality to address the deadening influences of the tools of modern technology on the poetical possibilities of the modern human being.

Abstract Analogy is a logical methodology, which can maximize the efficiency of human reasoning. Notwithstanding, few papers analyzed its logical characteristic. In this paper it is claimed that analogy is a typical form of logics, and the term and concept “analogics” is suggested. The reasoning principle, structure and process of this logicis are shown with some examples. It is certain that... Analogy is a logical methodology, which can maximize the efficiency of human reasoning. Notwithstanding, few papers analyzed its logical characteristic. In this paper it is claimed that analogy is a typical form of logics, and the term and concept “analogics” is suggested. The reasoning principle, structure and process of this logicis are shown with some examples. It is certain that the analogics has great cognitive efficiency but it must obey rules to acquire the logical validity. Read More Read Less
