the Sociological Cogito and Hard Problems of Science

This book introduces the sociological cogito as a revolutionary paradigm for solving the most perplexing "hard problems" in science and philosophy: mathematics, logic, God, and consciousness. By challenging Cartesian and Platonist approaches, it shows how these seemingly transcendental phenomena are grounded in our social realities. This groundbreaking work introduces the sociological cogito as a revolutionary paradigm for solving the most perplexing “hard problems” in science and philosophy: mathematics, logic, God, and consciousness. By challenging traditional Cartesian and Platonist approaches, it demonstrates how these seemingly transcendental phenomena are actually grounded in our social realities. This book systematically applies sociological realism to deconstruct long‑standing philosophical puzzles; it offers readers a comprehensive framework that covers topics from evolutionary theory to consciousness studies. Each chapter builds upon the sociological cogito to provide explanations for phenomena traditionally considered beyond empirical reach, culminating in an innovative solution to the hard problem of consciousness: positioning it as a social rather than neurological or panpsychic phenomenon. This volume is essential reading for scholars, upper‑level undergraduate and graduate students in sociology, philosophy of science, social science, and anthropology, with interest in consciousness studies, science and technology studies, and those seeking interdisciplinary approaches to fundamental questions in science and philosophy.
