ABSTRACT
Recent decades have seen a growing interest in various quarters in questions concerning the human mind. Today we can identify an array of disciplines which, due to their focus on cognition, can be subsumed under the heading “cognitive science(s).” ese include, among others, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, social and developmental psychology, as well as linguistics and some sociological approaches. e questions concern issues such as the phylogeny and ontogeny of an inner world and a theory of mind. ey also deal with the complicated interplay between biology and culture, as well as the role of language and emotions in a functioning rationality and the development of a moral capacity.
