“…Negley, another cybernetician, argued against confining scientific inquiry to the realm of that which could be quantified. “A more comprehensive understanding of experimental procedure would indicate that scientific method might be defined as that method of observation and formulation which produces the most precise and systematic results in terms of understanding and control of the data which are the object of scrutiny by the method” (Negley , 578). This view aligned well with the overarching cybernetic view of the time, which was largely opposed to the mechanistic treatment of the mind (Sato ).…”

The cognition and information theoretic sciences have now been in existence for the better part of a century. In that time, their varied disciplines have undergone extensive maturation, honing their methods, constitutions, and evaluation techniques in the pursuit of academic rigor, while not losing sight of the practical influences that have served as their almost universal cornerstone. Meanwhile, this period has also been marked by increasing disparity and gradual distancing of the philosophical underpinnings upon which each field is founded, adding strain to interdisciplinary collaborative efforts. This article presents an overview of select information‐science‐related cognition disciplines, and shows how the nascent Philosophy of Information (PI) can be adopted as a means of unifying these philosophical foundations in an empirically sound manner, without sacrificing general applicability. In addition, it demonstrates how PI is already rooted in the philosophies or epistemological views of several of the cognition disciplines, implicitly or otherwise.

The domain of machine consciousness is a melting pot of computers, robots, neuropsychology, sociology and philosophy. This is both an opportunity and a serious risk of stagnation in entertaining but never-ending discussions that may prove useless concerning the construction of better machines. This paper analyzes this situation, defends an engineering approach to machine consciousness research and proposes a strategy focused on machine understanding to get out of the current impasse.
