Les activit&eacute;s de Cognitio sont centr&eacute;es sur la lecture et l'analyse d'ouvrages d'int&eacute;r&ecirc;t g&eacute;n&eacute;ral en philosophie de l'esprit. Notre objectif est de d&eacute;velopper une connaissance des th&egrave;ses, d&eacute;bats et probl&eacute;matiques r&eacute;centes de ce domaine. Nous avons choisi de nous int&eacute;resser d'abord &agrave; <i>Darwin's Dangerous Idea</i>,(DDI) de Daniel Dennett,<img SRC="dennett.JPEG" height=255 width=200 align=LEFT>publi&eacute; en 1995. Vous pouvez consulter ici-m&ecirc;me la <a href="#Table">table des mati&egrave;res </a>de ce livre. Nous vous offrons aussi un lien vers une <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/sciencebooks/reviews/darwinsdangerous.html">revue du livre</a>, dans le <a href="http://www.newscientist.com">New Scientist</a>. Il sera pertinent de consulter un texte de Dennett,<i><a href="http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/errors.html">Errors in Darwin's Dangerous Idea</a></i>, o&ugrave; il rel&egrave;ve des erreurs ou difficult&eacute;s du livre. Dennett poss&egrave;de sa propre<a href="http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/~ddennett.htm"> page</a> et dirige le <a href="http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud">Center for Cognitive Studies de Tufts University</a>.</font> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font size=+1>DDI est un ouvrage accessible qui traite d'une diversit&eacute; de probl&egrave;mes en philosophie (allant de l'&eacute;thique &agrave; l'&eacute;pist&eacute;mologie en passant par la philosophie de la biologie et de l'esprit) dans une optique d'unification. Comme dans tous les livres de Dennett, les th&egrave;ses sont appuy&eacute;es par nombre d'exemples provenant de tous les coins de la science et des humanit&eacute;s. Le livre de Dennett est divis&eacute; en trois parties. La th&eacute;orie de l'&eacute;volution par s&eacute;lection naturelle est d'abord pr&eacute;sent&eacute;e d'un point de vue historique et suffisamment g&eacute;n&eacute;ral pour pouvoir s'appliquer aux diff&eacute;rentes questions<img SRC="darwin.JPEG" height=255 width=212 align=LEFT>int&eacute;ressant la philosophie, notamment les questions de la signification, de la connaissance et de la conscience. Dennett &eacute;value ensuite, dans la seconde partie, la place de la th&eacute;orie darwinienne au sein de la biologie comme telle. La troisi&egrave;me partie entend d&eacute;velopper une philosophie &eacute;volutionniste qui soit coh&eacute;rente avec la th&eacute;orie darwinienne telle que pr&eacute;sent&eacute;e dans la premi&egrave;re partie et seconde partie. &Agrave; propos de <b>Darwin</b>, on peut retrouver ses <a href="http://www.literature.org/authors/darwin-charles/">&eacute;crits</a> sur le web.
