Abstract

Claudiu Baciu explores cognitive qualia, developing Mircea Dumitru’s thesis that logical reasoning is guided by specific "feelings." Challenging the view that logic is purely formal, Baciu argues that emotions and imagination are essential to cognitive structures, especially in complex arguments (proofs). He connects this to the shift from substantialism to modern functionalism, where the active subject shapes reality. Ultimately, logic is seen as emerging from a deeper, affective substrate that generates our worldview.THIS ABSTRACT IS GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
