The socio-cognitive perspective: Why does “the cognitive” matter?
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.35295/osls.iisl.2303Palabras clave:
derecho, sociología, ciencia cognitiva, neurociencia, sesgos cognitivosResumen
Este artículo explora la perspectiva sociocognitiva, haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de la interdisciplinariedad en las ciencias sociales. Critica la fragmentación de las disciplinas académicas, argumentando que la especialización excesiva frena la innovación e impide la integración del conocimiento entre distintos campos. El debate destaca cómo el progreso científico se ha vuelto cada vez más autorreferencial, lo que ha llevado a una disminución de los descubrimientos revolucionarios. Un tema central es el estudio interdisciplinario del derecho, que el artículo posiciona como un “supermeme”, una construcción biosociológica influenciada por factores culturales, psicológicos y biológicos. La obra explora cómo los sesgos cognitivos, la neurociencia y los conocimientos sobre el comportamiento dan forma al razonamiento jurídico y a la toma de decisiones. También profundiza en la neuroderecho, analizando las implicaciones de la ciencia cognitiva en la responsabilidad jurídica, el libre albedrío y las estructuras normativas. En última instancia, el estudio aboga por un cambio de paradigma en las ciencias sociales y los estudios jurídicos, defendiendo un enfoque cognitivo que integre la biología, la psicología y la sociología. Al tender puentes entre estas disciplinas, el artículo sugiere que podemos lograr una comprensión más completa del derecho y el comportamiento humano.
