Resumo
É antiga a preocupação do ser humano com as questões relacionadas ao conhecimento, incluindo as discussões sobre a sua origem, seu aprendizado, sobre a nossa capacidade de utiliza-lo e sobre as características específicas da cognição humana. Essa preocupação remonta aos antigos filósofos gregos (2.500 A.C.), desenvolvendo-se posteriormente a partir da abordagem da Epistemologia, originária da Filosofia ocidental, e mais recentemente a partir do Funcionalismo, pertencente aos estudos em Filosofia da Mente e em Ciência Cognitiva. Essa última abordagem, em particular, contribuiu para o surgimento de programas de pesquisas que procuram entender o funcionamento da mente humana com a ajuda do computador. A Ciência Cognitiva possui fortes ligações com as pesquisas em Inteligência Artificial, e ambas vem se desenvolvendo desde a década de 1950. Mais recentemente, a partir da década de 1980, uma nova área de estudos surgiu, formada por pesquisas em Vida Artificial, que trabalha com a possibilidade de síntese de entidades vivas, por meios artificiais, e desde então vem chamando a atenção de pesquisadores interessados no estudo da cognição. Enquanto a Ciência Cognitiva tem ligações estreitas com a Filosofia e a Psicologia, a Vida Artificial tem uma forte inspiração na Biologia. Neste trabalho, procuramos investigar o encontro entre essas disciplinas, e seus programas de pesquisas, considerando as possibilidades de contribuição para o estudo da cognição humana, a partir de uma abordagem conjunta entre essas áreas.
It is na old thing the human concern about knowledge related questions, including discussions on its origin, its learning, about our capacity to utilize it and about specific characteristics of the human cognition. That concern remounts to the ancient greek philosophers (2.500 B.C.), developing itself later from the approach of Epistemology, originated in the occidental Philosophy, and more recently from the Functionalism, that makes part of the studies of Philosophy of Mind and of Cognitive Science. This last approach, particularly, contributed to appearing of research programs that try to understand the function of the human mind with the help of the computer. The Cognitive Science has strong relation with research in Artificial Intelligence, and both areas have been growing since the 1950 decade. More recently, from the decade 1980 on, a new area of atudies appeared, formed by researches in Artificial Life, that work with the possibility of synthesis of alive entities, by artificial means, and sice then has been attracting the attention of researchers interested in the study of Cognition. While Cognitive Science has strict relations with the Philosophy and the Psychology, Artifiical life has a strong inspiration in the Biology. In this work, we tried to investigate the meeting between these subjects, and their research programs, considering the possibilities of the contribution to the study of the human cognition, by means of an integrated approach of these areas.
