Koherencyjna koncepcja błędu reprezentacyjnego w kontekście badań nad mechanizmami powstawania błędnych reprezentacji pamięciowych
The coherence conception of representational error in the context of research into the formation mechanisms of memory misrepresentations

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a critical analysis of Krystyna Bielecka’s position presented in her book: I Err, Therefore I Think. What is Misrepresentation? (Błądzę, więc myślę. Co to jest błędna reprezentacja?). The paper also contains a sketch of an alternative naturalistic account of cognitive misrepresentations based on the mechanistic model of scientific explanation. In my opinion the main problem of the theory of cognitive (mis)representations concerns formation mechanisms - neurobiological, psychological, social and other. I briefly illustrate my position by examples of mechanism of memory misrepresentations. The final part of the paper contains some comments on the general theory of cognitive (mis)representations and the role that philosophy can play in its construction.
