“Cognitive science is all about rising above methodology and getting to a conceptual/theoretical level at which there is much more in common. Where there has been success, this ascension has been achieved. Where there has been failure it has been a failure to aspire to anything above methodology. Social science discipline divisions are dominated by methodologyβthat is why cognitive science happened. To adapt Dr. Johnsonβs aphorism, methodology is the last refuge of scoundrels.”
