Abstract

This work concerns a non-traditional approach to logic and epistemology, based on a challenging, albeit conjectural, articulation of views proceeding from evolutionary psychology and biology, non-monotonic and decision logics and artificial intelligence. The hinges to the latter inevitably suggest the emergence of an innovative symbiotic form of evolutionary epistemology, which will eventually have the ability to be shared, be it with robots, aliens or any other entity who must needs perform cognition to go on existing and program their future. Creating situated computers and robots means carrying out our own cognitive evolution by new means.
