Abstract

In the 20th century a new scientific field emerged with the aim of investigating the human mind and the cerebral realization of it. Many other conceptual and technological advances accompanied this period, for example the logial-mathematical language and the concept of computing that maked the understanding of the human mind be like a computational process. This new field was structured in the 1970 decade with an interdisciplinary approach and a cognitivist emphasis. Later, in 1990, the cognitivism account was questioned by the embodied cognition hypothesis and an organic neurobiological perspective of human cognition. To us, the scientific investigation of the human mind is a very wide and diversified field, with many enlightening debates. This diversity is precisely what makes cognitive sciense so important for the interprise of know the human mind in a naturalized approach that is complementary of the philosophical abstractions. In this context is necessary to understanding the historical path of cognitive sciense and be able of messured the value of this field for the progressive undertanding of what human mind is.
