General Description of the Seminar:
Decision making largely depends on the cognitive abilities (e.g., intelligence)
of the decision maker, his or her background knowledge and the characteristics
of the problems to be resolved. The ability to create good theories in order to
describe and explain the phenomena and to solve complex problems is
acknowledged as central to scientific thinking. Accordingly, a kind of
objectivity and pure rationalism are attributed to it. But scientific thinking
is neither a pure cognitive process nor does it take place in an empty space.
Scientists have adopted various ways of thinking, have developed basic belief
systems about how things are, have made decisions in regard to a special
epistemology, and have demonstrated preferences for a special philosophy of
science and its corresponding scientific methodology and methods. Additionally,
solving complex problems often requires a high level of creativity and the
acceptance of uncertainty. Thus, coping with uncertainty as an integrative part
of decision making has to be taken into account too.
In the first part of the seminar an integrative frame of creativity will be
worked out referring to cognitive science as an interdisciplinary discipline.
In the second part students are invited to prepare related topics at their own
choice for short presentations and discussions. Main goal of the seminar is to
find ways of acquiring new tools for the development and improvement of one’s
own expertise.
