Abstract
We believe that up to now the due attention has not been paid to the notion of the cognitive poor, (cognitive miser), often reductive associated with the notion of stingy cognitive. In parallel, we have forgotten the lesson of M. Minsky, who considered cognitive self-control to be a specific sign of humans and which frees thought from the vice of simplism, sloppiness and ease, generating unjustified pressure and credulity. In recent days, even health specialists have struggled to recognize the first unmistakable signs of the incipient pandemic, with serious consequences for everyone. The great absentee seems to have been common sense, and therefore the ability to grasp analogies, similarities, identities... The man of complex society, the citizen of the globalized world seems to be poor in common sense: an indigence towards which our work is oriented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
