On the approaches to self-knowledge

Abstract

This theoretical study in-depth examines a qualitatively new concept of human thinking and memory based on the principles of psycho-Lamarckism, emergence and system-evolutionary hierarchy, wherein a special role is given to histone proteins and astrocytes. At that latter. according to the author, effect as passive memory keepers which carry an analog rather than digital code, closely interacting through biochemical connections between glio and neurotransmitters. Besides, a separate line also says about the hard-to-explain as yet, alas, aptitude of some earthly uniques to super-calculation and other mnemonic wonders. Thus, at the whole, the content of this treatise can be summarized in 3 brief theses: a) human memory functions on several levels, and moreover primary is directly related to sensory imprinting and is localized in the thalamus; b) human thinking is based on long-term memory and is formed in the areas immediately adjacent to the corresponding sensory analyzers in the cerebral cortex; c) formal logic is a science investigating the basic axioms and principles of thinking, while its conceptual apparatus presents an idealization of multiple working structures and contacts existing in the cortex. As for the general meaning of the article, it consists of the idea of the obvious inevitability of the dictatorship of reason, already voiced and thoroughly analyzed by the author, more than once.
