The Ontological Domain

What is consciousness, and what do neuroscience and cognitive science actually explain when they describe it

Over the past decades, philosophy of mind, theoretical neuroscience, and cognitive science have developed increasingly precise models of brain function. Researchers such as Karl Friston, Thomas Metzinger, David Marr, Andy Clark, and David Chalmers have demonstrated that the brain operates through generative models that actively construct perception, cognition, and the self.

Yet a fundamental question remains unresolved. What is the relationship between these scientific models and the operational structure of cognitive experience itself

This book provides a rigorous interdisciplinary analysis of this question. It demonstrates that the problem of consciousness emerges from a structural distinction between scientific description and the operational domain of the cognitive system. Neuroscience describes neural activity. Cognitive science formalizes computational processes. Philosophy of mind analyzes representational structure. But the cognitive system itself operates through internally generated generative models that define its operational reality.

This volume explains

the role of generative models in cognition
