Vacariu, Gabriel,

Illusions of human thinking : on concepts of mind, reality, and universe in psychology, neuroscience, and physics / Gabriel Vacariu. - Wiesbaden : Springer, (c)2016. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references.

Epistemological Different Worlds (EDWs) -- Existence and Interactions -- Brain/Body, Self/Mind -- EDW's and Philosophy of Mind (Descartes, Kant) -- Cognitive (Neuro)Science -- Neuroscience Biology -- Physics (Quantum Physics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity).

The book illustrates that the traditional philosophical concept of the ℓ́ℓUniverseℓ́ℓ, the ℓ́ℓWorldℓ́ℓ has led to anomalies and paradoxes in the realm of knowledge. The author replaces this notion by the EDWs perspective, id est a new axiomatic hyperontological framework of ℓ́ℓEpistemologically Different Worldsℓ́ℓ (EDWs). Thus it becomes possible to find a more appropriate approach to different branches of science, such as cognitive neuroscience, physics, biology and the philosophy of mind. The consequences are a better understanding of the mind-body problem, quantum physics non-locality or entanglement, the measurement problem, Einsteinℓ́ℓs theory of relativity and the binding problem in cognitive neuroscience.
