The cultural and, more specifically, academical links are frequently disregarded. This book aims at being an argument against such systematic lack of interest for the results of collaborations between Western and Eastern intellectuals and academics: what emerges from the juxta- position of papers of different geo-cultural origins—but dealing with the same issues—is sometimes a novelapproach, which takes advantage of the multifaceted sensibilities inherited by the scholarly legacies that contributed to the debate. This volume is a collection of selected papers that were presented at the international conference Philosophy and Cognitive Science (PCS2013), held at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, P.R. China, in November 2013 (chairs Lorenzo Magnani and Ping Li) and at the International Workshop Visual Abduction or Abductive Vision? held at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), Daejeon, South Korea, in October/November 2013 (chair Woosuk Park). The papers by Athanassios Raftopoulos “Reframing the Problem of Cognitive Penetrability,” Xiang Chen “The Emergence and Development of Causal Representations,” Luigi Pastore, Sara Dellantonio, Claudio Mulatti, and Remo Job “On the Nature and Composition of Abstract (Theoretical) Concepts: The X- Ception Theory and Methods for Its Assessment,” Selene Arfini and Lorenzo Magnani “An Eco-Cognitive Model of Ignorance Immunization,” Woosuk Park “Towards a Caricature Model of Science,” and Lorenzo Magnani “Violence and Abductive Cognition Epistemology and Ethics Entangled” were presented at PCS2013.ThepapersbyLorenzoMagnani“UnderstandingVisualAbduction.The NeedoftheEco-CognitiveModel,”CameronShelley“BiomorphismandModelsin Design,” Jeongmin Lee, “The Correspondence Principle, Formal Analogy, and Scientific Rationality,” Jun-Young Oh, YooShin Kim, Chun-Hwey Kim, Byeong- Mee Min, Yeon-A Son “Understanding Galileo’s Inquiries about the Law of Inertia,” Athanassios Raftopoulos “Abductive Inference in Late Vision,” and WoosukPark“FromVisualAbductiontoAbductiveVision”werepresentedatthe KAIST Workshop on abduction. v vi Preface Previous volumes prepared the basis for the realization of PCS2013 and of KAIST Vision Workshop, as meetings explicitly devoted to the conjunction of WesternandEasternstudies.Thesevolumesalsooriginatedfrominternationaljoint research projects, which succeeded in establishing a first relationship between the two worlds in the area of philosophy and cognitive science. Model-Based Reasoning in Scientific Discovery, edited by L. Magnani, N.J. Nersessian, and P.Thagard (KluwerAcademic/PlenumPublishers,NewYork,1999), based onthe paperspresentedatthefirst“model-basedreasoning”internationalconference,held at the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy in December 1998, has been translated into Chinese, China Science and Technology Press, Beijing, 2000. Abduction, Reason, and Science by L. Magnani was translated by Dachao Li and Yuan Ren and published by Guangdong People’s Publishing House, Guangzhou, in 2006.

Li (Guangdong People’s Publishing House, Guangzhou, China, 2006, published in Chinese), Model-Based Reasoning in Science, Technology, and Medicine, edited by L. Magnani and P. Li (Springer, Berlin/New York, 2007), derived from the following previous conferences: “Model-Based Reasoning in Science and Medicine” (MBR06_CHINA, held at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, July 2006), the first “Philosophy and Cognitive Science” international conference (PCS2004, held at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, June 2004) and the second “Philosophy and Cognitive Science” interna- tional conference (PCS2011, held at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, May 2011). The presentations given at the Guangzhou and Daejeon meetings addressed various recent topics at the crossroad of philosophy and cognitive science, espe- cially taking advantage of both Western and Eastern research. The selected papers contained in the proceedings mainly focus on the following areas: abductive cog- nition, visualization in science, the cognitive structure of scientific theories, the nature and functions of models, scientific representation, mathematical represen- tation in science, model-based reasoning, analogical reasoning, moral cognition, cognitive niches, and evolution. The various contributions of the book are written by interdisciplinary researchers who are active in the area of philosophy and/or cognitive science.

Special thanks also go to Tommaso Bertolotti and Selene Arfini for their con- tribution in the preparation of this volume. The meeting PCS2013 and KAIST Vision Workshop, and thus indirectly this book, was made possible through the generous financial support, respectively, of Sun Yat-sen University, ZhanJiang Chemical Industrial Incorporated Corporation, the MIUR (Italian Ministry of the University), KAIST, South Korea, and University of Pavia, Italy. Their support is gratefully acknowledged. The preparation of the volume would not have been possible without the contribution of resources and facilities of the Computational Philosophy Laboratory and of the Department of Humanities, Philosophy Section, University of Pavia.
