Reduction of Cognition Concept for Providing a New Methodology

Abstract Human cognition not only is an obstacle for asking the questions, but also shows the importance of asking questions and finding the new methods. Methodology, as an organization of cognition, and the theory of the organizing human actions, requires a new paradigm to accept a new member in the family. Why a new paradigm is necessary depends of the human's Existential nature. In fact, this fundamental attribute of existential and extension of human beings is regarded as the basis for epoche of the cognition. By selecting the existentialism as legein of the logos and based on cognitive approaches (4E), the present study tries to address the embedded cognition as the basis of discussions, and the other three branches of the cognitive approach (4E) are used to overcome the explanatory gap in explaining the embedded cognition. To prove that perception does not provide a real image of the universe due to the fact that any abstract data or reasoning should be finally perceived based on the embodied metaphor, perceptions such as Tetrachromacy, Synaesthesia and sensory substitution as well as the perception of other living beings about the universe. In total, the cognitive approach (4E), along with logical reasoning of existentialism tries to perceive existence as a humanistic issue and it means to go beyond the metaphysics and dualism, and it is the most important practical factor to go beyond cognition. In another paper entitled “Enactment”, the present author explained about the specification of the new methodology.
